Alaska recorded 25 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 10 providers this week, bringing the state’s year-to-date additions to 13 providers. Alaska’s small share signals a limited contribution to national registry growth, consistent with the state’s comparatively dispersed behavioral health market.
ABA Workforce Mix
The update reports 2 BCBA credentials and 5 RBT credentials, including 1 dual credential held by a provider listed as both BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive; the dual credential is included in both counts, and 7 providers have multiple taxonomies. The registry also includes broader behavioral health credentials, including LCSWs, counselors, psychologists and speech-language pathologists. Even with that overlap, the larger RBT count relative to BCBA representation points to more direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs and treatment planning, limited BCBA availability could constrain expansion and access to ABA services.
Demographics and Provider Activity
Alaska’s registry includes 22 individuals and 3 organizations. Gender data lists 15 female providers, 7 male providers and no nonbinary providers, corresponding to 68%, 32% and 0%. No organizations appear in the notable-organizations field, so the update does not identify repeated activity from major ABA chains or other provider groups. Anchorage, Palmer, Wasilla, Fairbanks and JBER are among the listed activity centers.
The combination of new registry activity, a small RBT-heavy ABA cohort and limited BCBA representation suggests Alaska may be adding service capacity while retaining a supervision bottleneck that could shape future access.
