Texas recorded 14 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 10 through Aug. 16, accounting for 7% of the national total. The records included 13 individuals and 1 organization. The organization was Solari Med LLC in Austin, listed under General Practice. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself establish that a physician has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials
Internal Medicine and Family Medicine were the most frequently listed physician specialties, with 2 deactivations each. Anesthesiology, Gastroenterology and Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine & OMM each recorded 1 deactivation. The remaining records represented other specialties, including Neurological Surgery, Psychiatry, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Emergency Medicine and Maternal & Fetal Medicine. The credential mix was therefore spread across multiple fields rather than concentrated in one specialty.
City Distribution
Houston recorded 4 deactivations, followed by San Antonio and Dallas with 2 each. Fort Worth and Cleburne each recorded 1. Other records were associated with Sherman, Manchaca, Rollingwood and Austin. Houston’s lead, along with activity in San Antonio and Dallas, indicates that the week’s records were concentrated partly in major Texas cities, but the distribution also included smaller communities and suburbs. These locations describe the registry records and do not measure local physician supply or patient access.
The weekly figures provide an administrative snapshot of Texas physician NPI status changes, not a direct count of providers leaving clinical practice.
