Pennsylvania recorded 8 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 17 through August 23, 2026, representing 5% of the national total. The records include 7 individuals and 1 organization. The deactivations occurred on August 17 and August 20, according to the registry data.
Credentials
Emergency Medicine was the most frequently listed retired taxonomy, with 2 deactivations. Dermatology, Diagnostic Radiology, Family Medicine and Hematology & Oncology each had 1. The records also include Cardiovascular Disease and General Practice, each appearing once. No other credential accounted for more than 1 record in the weekly Pennsylvania data, indicating that the activity was spread across several physician specialties rather than concentrated in a single field.
Geographic Spread
The listed cities were West Lawn, Scranton, Philadelphia, Canonsburg, Monroeville, Gladwyne, Harrisburg and Kingston. Each city appeared once, so no location represented a larger share of the Pennsylvania records than another. The distribution spans southeastern, northeastern, western and central parts of the state, but the small number of records limits what can be inferred about broader geographic patterns.
These NPI deactivations are administrative registry changes and do not by themselves establish a license action or confirm whether a physician or organization has stopped practicing.
