Washington recorded 6 behavioral health provider deactivations in this week’s NPI registry update, representing 4% of the national total. All six records were individuals, while organizations accounted for zero deactivations. The records cover the week of August 17 through August 23, 2026. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Cities
Clinical Social Workers and Counselors were the most frequently retired taxonomy categories, with 2 records each. RBTs and Mental Health Counselors each accounted for 1 record. Bellevue had the largest city count, with 2 deactivations. Chehalis, Burien, Tacoma and Edmonds each had 1. The distribution shows a small concentration in Bellevue, but the remaining records were spread across four other Washington cities rather than centered in one location.
Registry Context
All records in this update were individual providers, and no organization records were included. The credential and city fields describe how the deactivated NPIs were categorized in the registry; they do not measure active caseloads, employment status, appointment availability or the number of behavioral health professionals currently practicing in each city. CMS removes identifying details from most deactivated records, while Hipa.ai retains names from public CMS files captured before deactivation.
This week’s Washington data reflects six administrative NPI status changes across four behavioral health taxonomy categories and five listed cities.
