Texas recorded 5 NPI deactivations for nurses in the week of June 22-28, 2026, contributing 6% of the national total for this category. All 5 deactivations were associated with individual providers, with no organizational NPIs deactivated in the state during this period. It is important to note that an NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing.
Credential and Geographic Breakdown
Among the deactivated NPIs, Registered Nurse was the most common credential, accounting for 2 instances, which represents 40% of the total. Other specific nursing credentials each made up 20% of the deactivations, with 1 instance each for Case Management Registered Nurse, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Nurse Practitioner. The deactivations were distributed across 5 distinct cities: Fort Hood, McCamey, Texarkana, Katy, and Fort Worth, suggesting no specific geographic concentration for these administrative changes.
Data Context
While CMS typically scrubs name, address, and taxonomy information from most deactivated records, Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured prior to deactivation. This practice helps maintain a historical record of provider entries, offering insight into workforce shifts within the state's nursing sector.
