Tennessee recorded 6 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Sept. 14–20, 2026, accounting for 4% of the national total. The records comprise 5 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative registry status change; by itself, it does not establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action has occurred.
Credentials and Locations
Mental Health Counselor and Case Manager/Care Coordinator were the leading individual taxonomy categories, with 2 records each. The other listed categories were Case Management Agency and Counselor, with 1 record apiece. Knoxville had the most deactivations, with 2 records; Brentwood, Monteagle, Mountain City and Arlington each had 1. The counts show a limited concentration in Knoxville, while the remaining records are spread across four other cities. With only six records in the weekly state total, these figures describe this update rather than establishing a broader geographic pattern.
Registry Context
The taxonomy labels identify how records were classified in NPPES and should not be read as a complete account of services available in each city. CMS generally removes names, addresses and taxonomy details from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains names from public CMS files captured before deactivation. The weekly tally is a registry snapshot, not a measure of workforce departures, current practice status, patient access or changes in licensing. Tennessee’s update therefore documents the recorded administrative changes for the week, without determining what they mean for individual providers or local service capacity.
