Pennsylvania recorded 14 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 10-16, representing 7% of the national total. The records include 13 individuals and 1 organization. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not, by itself, establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a license action.
Credential Breakdown
Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology and Family Medicine were the most frequently listed taxonomies, with 2 records each. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery each appeared in 1 record. The remaining records covered a range of specialties, including Urology, Surgery, Pain Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease, Anesthesiology and Geriatric Medicine. The leading categories were therefore distributed across several primary-care and specialty fields rather than concentrated in a single taxonomy.
City Distribution
Philadelphia had 3 deactivations, followed by Lebanon with 2. Pittsburgh, Muncy and Penndel each had 1. The city distribution places the largest single cluster in Philadelphia, while the other listed locations show activity across different parts of the state; the counts alone do not establish a workforce trend or common cause.
The Pennsylvania figures describe this week’s registry changes and should be read as administrative data, not as a direct measure of active clinical capacity or specific provider practice status.
