Alaska recorded 35 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 16 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date count to 17. The update includes 33 individuals and 2 organizations. Alaska’s negligible national share reflects a small behavioral health market spread across a large geographic area, where registry growth may improve local visibility without indicating broad statewide access. NPI records do not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry reports 1 BCBA credential and 6 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, so these counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of Alaska’s 35 providers. The single BCBA record, associated with Inspire ABA Specialists Corp.’s BCBA taxonomy, points to limited documented supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning and clinical quality, a one-to-six documented ratio suggests that technician-level growth could be constrained by access to qualified supervisors. The broader mix includes LCSWs, LPCs, mental health counselors, case managers, addiction counselors and an SLP, showing that the registry captures behavioral health beyond ABA.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 23 female providers, 10 male providers and no nonbinary providers, corresponding to 70%, 30% and 0%. The leading cities are Anchorage, Juneau, Wasilla, Homer and Sitka, with Anchorage appearing repeatedly among individual records. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Eight providers carry multiple taxonomies; that overlap may reflect broader service roles and does not represent eight additional providers.
Alaska’s update suggests a dispersed behavioral health workforce with limited documented BCBA depth, making supervisor recruitment and cross-disciplinary coordination important for expanding ABA access.
