Virginia recorded 6 NPI deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers during the week of June 22-28, 2026. This figure represents 4% of the national total for behavioral health NPI deactivations in the period. The deactivations included 5 individual providers and 1 organization. These administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry are a routine part of maintaining provider data, with Hipa.ai retaining name caches for deactivated records.
Impacted Provider Roles and Geographic Spread
The deactivated NPIs spanned several key behavioral health roles. Professional Counselors, Clinical Social Workers, and Case Managers/Care Coordinators each accounted for 2 deactivations. These three categories represent a significant portion of the direct care and coordination services within the behavioral health sector. Geographically, the city of Richmond recorded 2 deactivations. Single deactivations were noted in Roanoke, Prince George, Freeman, and Hampton, indicating a dispersed pattern across the state rather than a single concentrated event outside of Richmond.
NPI deactivations are administrative status changes and do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practice or faced a license action, but rather an update to their federal registry status.
