Tennessee recorded 5 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 17 through August 23, representing 3% of the national total. All five records were individuals; the registry listed 0 organizations among the state’s deactivations. The activity was recorded on August 20. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or confirm that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credentials
Case Manager/Care Coordinator was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records, or 40% of Tennessee’s total. Clinical Social Worker, Specialist and Professional Counselor each accounted for 1 record, or 20%. The credential mix therefore spans care coordination, social work, specialist services and counseling rather than showing deactivations concentrated in a single behavioral health role.
Locations
Memphis had the largest city count, with 2 deactivations. Knoxville, Columbia and Maryville each had 1. The geographic distribution was limited across four cities, with Memphis the only location appearing more than once. That pattern describes the records in this week’s update but does not establish a broader regional workforce trend.
Tennessee’s weekly registry activity consisted entirely of individual records, and the administrative data should be interpreted as a record-status change rather than a direct measure of provider availability or service capacity.
