Ohio recorded 5 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 24–30, representing 3% of the national total. All of the deactivated records were individuals, while 0 organizations were included. The registry status is an administrative change and, by itself, does not establish that a physician has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credential Mix
The records span five physician taxonomies, with one each in Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, Anesthesiology and Cardiovascular Disease. Each credential accounts for 20% of Ohio’s deactivations in this update. No single specialty accounts for more than another, so the credential data shows a dispersed mix rather than a concentration in one area of physician practice.
Geographic Distribution
The listed cities are Dayton, Defiance, Fairfield, Youngstown and East Liverpool, with one deactivation recorded in each. The geographic distribution is similarly even across the records, with no city appearing more than once. The data therefore does not identify a dominant Ohio location or specialty pattern within this week’s physician deactivations.
These figures describe changes recorded in the federal NPI registry and should be read as an administrative snapshot, not as a direct measure of Ohio’s active physician workforce, clinical capacity or local appointment availability.
