Washington saw a total of 7 NPI deactivations for behavioral health providers during the week of June 22-28, 2026. This represents 4% of the national total for behavioral health deactivations in the same period. Of these, 6 were individual providers and 1 was an organizational entity.
Deactivation Trends
Analysis of the deactivated NPIs shows that 'Mental Health Counselor' was the most common taxonomy among the individuals, accounting for 4 of the 7 deactivations, representing 57% of the total. The remaining deactivations were distributed across 'Counselor', 'Specialist', and 'Case Manager/Care Coordinator' taxonomies, each with 1 deactivation.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, Yakima recorded 2 deactivations, making it the city with the highest count for the week. Other cities reporting 1 deactivation each included Bellingham, Camas, Newcastle, and Olympia. This geographic spread indicates that deactivations were not confined to a single urban center but occurred across different areas of the state.
NPI deactivations reflect administrative changes in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice or a license action for any specific provider.
