Washington recorded 11 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations between July 6 and July 12, 2026. This figure represents 6% of the national total for the week in this category. All 11 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizations affected during this period.
Credential Breakdown
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs by credential shows that Mental Health Counselors accounted for 4 individuals, making up 36% of the total deactivations. Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors followed with 3 individuals, representing 27% of the total. Additionally, one Counselor, one Speech-Language Pathologist, and one Clinical Social Worker were among the deactivated NPIs, each accounting for 9% of the state's weekly total.
Geographic Distribution
Reviewing the geographic data, Seattle and Puyallup each recorded 2 deactivations. Other cities with single deactivations included Bellingham, Olympia, and Eastsound. This distribution suggests deactivations occurred across various population centers within Washington state, rather than being concentrated in a single area.
It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
