Texas recorded 5 NPI deactivations for nurses this week, representing 10% of the national total. Of these deactivations, 4 were individuals and 1 was an organization.
Credential and Geographic Distribution
The deactivated NPIs covered a range of nursing specialties. Each of the following accounted for 20% of the deactivations: Adult Health Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Case Management Registered Nurse, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, and Pediatric Registered Nurse. Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across several cities, with one each in Pearland, Austin, Waco, San Antonio, and Houston, indicating no single area of concentration.
NPI deactivations are administrative updates in the federal registry and do not inherently signify a provider has ceased practice or faced a license action.
