Pennsylvania recorded five physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 3% of the national total for the period. All five deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational deactivations reported in the state.
Deactivation Details
Among the deactivated NPIs, two were in Obstetrics & Gynecology, accounting for 40% of the total. Other specialties included Thoracic Surgery, Sports Medicine (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation), and Internal Medicine, each with one deactivation. The deactivations were distributed across five different cities: Clairton, Lititz, State College, Turtle Creek, and New Cumberland, with no single city showing a concentration of deactivations.
NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practice or faced license action.
