Texas recorded 8 NPI deactivations for Behavioral Health Providers this week, representing 5% of the national total. All 8 deactivations were for individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period.
Credential Breakdown
The deactivated NPIs included a mix of behavioral health specialties. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Professional Counselors each accounted for 2 deactivations, making up 25% each of the total. Additionally, Case Manager/Care Coordinator, Specialist, and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor each saw 1 deactivation, representing 13% each of the total deactivations this week.
Geographic Distribution
Geographically, deactivations were observed across various urban centers. Cities such as Carrollton, McAllen, Sugar Land, San Antonio, and El Paso each recorded 1 deactivation. This distribution suggests that the administrative status changes were not concentrated in a single metropolitan area but rather spread across different regions of Texas.
NPI deactivations reflect an administrative status change within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a change in a provider's licensure or practice status.
