Pennsylvania recorded 5 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations during the week of June 8-14, 2026. This figure represents 3% of the national total for behavioral health providers in the same period. All 5 deactivations were for individual practitioners, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state this week, reflecting a focus on individual administrative changes.
Credential and Geographic Overview
Among the deactivated NPIs, "Psychologist" was the most frequent credential, accounting for 2 providers, or 40% of the total. Other credentials included one "Specialist," one "Counselor," and one "Mental Health Counselor," each representing 20% of the deactivations. The deactivations were distributed across several cities, with one NPI each in Danville, Philadelphia, York, Phila, and Pottstown. This broad geographic spread indicates no particular concentration of administrative changes in any single urban or rural area.
Interpreting Deactivation Data
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry. It is important to note that these changes do not inherently signify a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing. Hipa.ai retains a name cache for deactivated records, captured from public CMS files prior to deactivation, to offer continued insight into these administrative updates affecting the provider workforce.
