Ohio recorded 5 physician-segment deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of September 14–20, 2026, accounting for 3% of the national total. The records comprised 4 individuals and 1 organization. These figures describe administrative status changes in the federal registry, not confirmed departures from practice or changes in state licensure.
Credentials and Cities
The credential breakdown was evenly distributed: Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Diagnostic Radiology and Internal Medicine each had one deactivation. The city list was similarly dispersed, with one record each in Toledo, Beavercreek, Athens, Steubenville and Fremont. No city or credential appears more frequently than another in the data, so the week’s records show no concentration in a particular location or specialty. The organization record is included in the overall segment total, while the credential summary lists the five physician specialties represented among the records.
Registry Context
NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System. It does not, by itself, establish that a clinician has stopped seeing patients, that an organization has closed, or that a professional license has been restricted. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation. The weekly figures therefore offer a snapshot of registry updates, rather than a complete measure of Ohio’s active physician workforce or local access to care.
