The Bay Area recorded 275 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The registry added 135 new providers this week, bringing the area’s year-to-date additions to 147. Records include 255 individuals and 20 organizations. That concentration signals a substantial behavioral health market, although NPI counts do not confirm active caseloads, staffed locations or available appointments.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry identifies 7 BCBA providers and 106 RBT providers. These credential categories overlap: 2 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are counted in each total. The dual-credential group is small but reflects a pathway from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic leadership. The much larger RBT pool indicates strong direct-service staffing potential, while the comparatively limited BCBA count may constrain supervision capacity and the pace at which clinics can expand caseloads. Credential and taxonomy categories are not mutually exclusive. The registry lists 67 providers with multiple taxonomies, so classification totals should not be added together as a provider total.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 190 providers, or 75% of the reported workforce. Men account for 54 providers, or 21%, and nonbinary providers account for 11, or 4%. Momentum for Health appears multiple times, with 9 organization records, suggesting a significant institutional presence in the registry. The leading cities are Concord with 38 providers, San Francisco with 36, Oakland with 28, San Jose with 25 and Santa Rosa with 12. Overall, the update points to broad Bay Area ABA activity and a growing RBT pipeline, but access gains will depend on building additional BCBA supervision capacity across the region.
