Oklahoma recorded 5 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 24–30, 2026, representing 2% of the national total. The update included 4 individuals and 1 organization. An 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 licensing action.
Credential Breakdown
The retired taxonomy records were evenly distributed across five categories. Clinic/Center, BCBA, Psychologist, Mental Health Counselor and Counselor each accounted for 1 deactivation, or 20% of the Oklahoma behavioral health total. The mix spans an organization classification and several individual behavioral health roles, with no single credential appearing more frequently than another in this update.
City Distribution
Oklahoma City and Tulsa each recorded 2 deactivations, while Poteau recorded 1. Together, the two largest cities accounted for 4 of the 5 records. That distribution shows that this week’s activity was concentrated in Oklahoma’s two largest listed locations, although the small number of records limits what can be inferred about broader geographic or workforce patterns. The organization record was located in Oklahoma City, while the individual records were listed in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Poteau.
The Oklahoma figures describe registry status changes for a limited set of behavioral health records and should not be read as a direct measure of current service capacity, provider availability or changes affecting specific practices.
