Virginia recorded 6 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 24 through August 30, 2026, representing 3% of the national total. All six records were individuals, while no organizations were listed. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry and does not, by itself, establish that a physician has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Locations
Psychiatry and Family Medicine were the leading retired taxonomies, with 2 records each. Psychiatry and Family Medicine each accounted for 33% of Virginia’s deactivations. Plastic Surgery within the Head & Neck (Otolaryngology) and Ophthalmology each appeared once, accounting for 17% apiece. The credential mix is divided across several specialties rather than concentrated in one field, although the update is too small to indicate a broader workforce pattern.
City Distribution
Vienna had the most deactivations, with 2 records. Danville, Salem, Fairfax and Virginia Beach each had one. The city distribution therefore shows one location appearing more than once, while the remaining records are spread across four cities. The registry data does not identify whether these entries correspond to practice closures, relocations, retirement or other administrative circumstances.
Virginia’s weekly physician deactivations comprise individual records across multiple specialties and cities, providing a registry snapshot rather than a direct measure of current clinical capacity.
