Washington recorded 6 behavioral health provider deactivations in the week of Sept. 14-20, 2026, representing 4% of the national total. All six records were individuals; no organizations were listed. NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry and does not, by itself, establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a license action.
Credentials and Cities
Registered behavior technicians were the most frequently listed taxonomy, with 2 RBTs. The remaining records were one each for a psychologist, clinical social worker, specialist and mental health counselor. The city breakdown shows one provider each in Kingston, Tacoma, Newport, Orting and Spokane Valley; the sixth provider was in Olympia. The distribution is spread across the listed cities rather than concentrated in one location. With only six deactivations, the weekly counts provide a narrow snapshot and do not establish a broader geographic or credential trend.
Registry Context
CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation. The taxonomy and location figures here describe the records in this weekly update, not current employment, service availability or the full behavioral health workforce in Washington. The counts should be read as registry activity for the specified week, not as a measure of provider exits from practice.
