Credential and Geographic Trends
A significant portion of the deactivations, 7 records or 58% of the total, were associated with Neurological Surgery. Other specialties with one deactivation each included Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine, Critical Care Medicine (Internal Medicine), and Plastic Surgery. Geographically, Oshkosh recorded the highest number of deactivations with 3 records. Marinette and Green Bay each saw 2 deactivations, while La Crosse and Milwaukee each had one. The concentration of Neurological Surgery deactivations, primarily among organizations, points to localized administrative changes impacting specific regions.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not by themselves indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
