During the week of March 16-22, 2026, Texas recorded 5 NPI deactivations for nurses, representing 7% of the national total for the category. This total included 4 individual providers and 1 organization. NPI deactivations are administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practicing.
Credential and Geographic Snapshot
Analysis of the deactivated NPIs shows that the taxonomy codes 367500000X, for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and 363LF0000X, for Nurse Practitioners, were the most frequent. Each of these categories accounted for 2 deactivations, representing 40% of the total. The remaining 20% was a single Registered Nurse (363L00000X) deactivation. Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across five distinct cities: Arlington, Houston, Richmond, Fort Worth, and Pearland. This broad distribution suggests no particular urban or regional concentration for these administrative updates.
Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation, providing ongoing visibility into these workforce changes. These weekly updates offer a factual look at shifts in provider NPI statuses within the state's nursing sector.
