Virginia recorded 6 physician deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national total. The records include 6 individuals and 0 organizations. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself establish that a physician has left practice, lost a license or stopped seeing patients.
Credentials
Anesthesiology was the most common retired taxonomy, with 2 records, or 33% of Virginia’s total. Psychiatry, Infectious Disease, Family Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery each appeared once, accounting for 17% apiece. The spread across five specialties, with only anesthesiology appearing more than once, does not point to a broad concentration in one credential category. It instead describes a small, varied group of registry changes during the week.
Locations
Richmond had 3 deactivations, followed by Williamsburg with 2 and Newport News with 1. The city distribution places half of the records in Richmond and the remainder in two other Virginia cities, but the limited number of records makes the geographic pattern a description of this week’s registry activity rather than a measure of local workforce size or access.
Overall, the Virginia update records individual physician NPI deactivations across several specialties and three cities, while the registry data alone does not explain the reason for any specific change.
