Texas recorded 10 behavioral health provider NPI deactivations this week, representing 5% of the national total. All 10 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
Among the deactivated NPIs, Mental Health Counselors accounted for the largest share, with 3 providers (30%). Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Clinical Social Workers each saw 2 deactivations (20%). These three credential types collectively represent 70% of the week's deactivations in Texas behavioral health. Other credentials, including Case Manager/Care Coordinator and Psychologist, each had 1 deactivation (10%).
Geographically, Austin recorded the highest number of deactivations with 2 providers. Ennis, Corpus Christi, Houston, and Kerrville each saw 1 deactivation. This distribution indicates deactivations occurred across multiple cities rather than being concentrated in a single metropolitan area.
NPI deactivations are administrative updates in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a provider has ceased practice or faced disciplinary action.
