Texas recorded 14 physician NPI deactivations this week, representing 9% of the national total. This total included 8 individual practitioners and 6 organizations in the federal NPPES registry between July 13 and July 19, 2026.
Specialty and Geographic Trends
Among the deactivated NPIs, Nephrology was the most frequent specialty, accounting for 4 entries, or 29% of the total. Family Medicine followed with 2 deactivations, making up 14%. Other specialties with single deactivations included Hospitalist, Otolaryngology, and Emergency Medicine. This concentration in Nephrology is a notable aspect of this week's administrative changes.
City-Level Deactivations
Geographically, Houston recorded 2 deactivations, the highest for any single city. Granbury, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Midlothian each saw 1 deactivation. The remaining deactivations were distributed across other cities in Texas, indicating a broad geographic spread rather than a localized concentration.
These administrative updates reflect changes in the NPI registry and do not inherently indicate that a provider has ceased practice or faced disciplinary action.
