Oklahoma recorded 8 behavioral health provider deactivations during the week of August 31 through September 6, 2026, accounting for 4% of the national total in this registry segment. The records included 7 individuals and 1 organization. The activity represents NPI registry status changes and does not, by itself, establish whether a provider has stopped practicing or whether a license action occurred.
Credential Breakdown
Mental Health Counselor was the leading retired taxonomy, with 4 records, or 50% of Oklahoma’s total. Professional Counselor, Clinical Social Worker, Counselor, and Case Manager/Care Coordinator each appeared once. The distribution places most of the week’s activity in counseling-related classifications, while also including social work and care coordination roles. The credential mix describes how records were categorized in NPPES; it does not measure active caseloads, hours worked, or available appointments.
City Distribution
Oklahoma City had 3 deactivations, the highest city count. Pawhuska, Tulsa, Idabel, and Wilburton each had one record, while another record was listed in Claremore. The city pattern shows a concentration in Oklahoma City alongside activity spread across communities in different parts of the state, but the small weekly total limits broader conclusions about geographic workforce movement.
Overall, this week’s Oklahoma snapshot captures administrative changes across individual and organizational NPI records rather than a confirmed measure of behavioral health workforce loss.
