Texas recorded 9 NPI deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers this week, accounting for 5% of the national total. The majority of these deactivations involved individual practitioners, with 7 individuals seeing their NPIs deactivated. The remaining 2 deactivations were for organizational NPIs. This administrative update covers the period from July 20 to July 26, 2026.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
An analysis of the deactivated NPIs by credential shows that Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) represented the largest group, with 3 deactivations, making up 33% of the total. Other credentials with NPI deactivations included Psychologist, Counselor, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and Speech-Language Pathologist, each with one instance. Each of these latter categories accounted for 11% of the week's deactivations in Texas. The geographic distribution of these deactivations was broad, with no single city showing a concentration. Cities such as Harlingen, Spring, Houston, Round Rock, and Cypress each recorded one deactivation. Other locations like Sherman, Dallas, San Antonio, and Seabrook also saw individual NPI deactivations.
These NPI deactivations reflect administrative status changes within the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a cessation of practice, a license action, or that a provider has stopped offering services.
