Oregon saw 7 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, representing 4% of the national total for the period of July 6-12, 2026. All 7 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizations affected. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice in the state.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, 'Mental Health Counselor' was the most common taxonomy, accounting for 3 providers, or 43% of the total deactivations. 'Case Manager/Care Coordinator' followed with 2 providers, making up 29% of the deactivations. 'Specialist' and 'Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor' each saw 1 deactivation, representing 14% of the total. Geographically, the cities of Saint Helens and Portland each recorded 2 deactivations. Roseburg, North Bend, and Sisters each had 1 deactivation. This distribution across multiple cities suggests localized administrative changes rather than a concentrated shift in a single urban or rural area of the state's behavioral health workforce.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative updates to the federal registry, providing a snapshot of changes in provider records for the week without indicating specific practice status changes for the individuals involved.
