Alaska recorded 31 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The update includes 12 new providers this week and 17 added this year, with 25 individuals and 6 organizations. The limited share signals a small, geographically dispersed registry footprint rather than a large statewide provider market. NPI activity reflects registry records, however, not confirmed staffing levels, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 2 BCBAs and 1 RBT, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These figures come from credential or taxonomy fields that can overlap with other provider classifications and should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce groups. The two BCBA records alongside one RBT point to a thin documented ABA supervision base: BCBAs are responsible for clinical oversight, treatment planning and RBT supervision, so limited supervisor capacity can constrain service expansion even when direct-service roles emerge. Seven providers carry multiple taxonomies, further showing that registry categories may describe overlapping professional functions.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 21 female providers, 4 male providers and no nonbinary providers, or 84%, 16% and 0%, respectively. No organization appears multiple times in the listed records, and the update identifies no notable recurring organizational presence. Anchorage, Wasilla, Eagle River, Fairbanks and Bethel are the leading listed cities, while providers also appear in smaller or more remote communities. The statewide pattern is therefore broader than the main urban centers, but the overall registry count remains limited.
Alaska’s update suggests a small, predominantly female behavioral health workforce with especially limited documented ABA supervision capacity, a pattern that may constrain access as demand grows across dispersed communities.
