Charlotte recorded 45 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the data. The update includes 21 new providers this week and 24 new providers this year. Records cover 31 individuals and 14 organizations, indicating activity from both practitioners and behavioral health entities. The reported national share does not indicate a meaningful absence of local activity; it reflects the registry’s displayed value and should be read alongside Charlotte’s provider count. NPI records do not establish whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 8 BCBA providers and 10 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 4 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are included in each count. The dual-credential group is notable because it may reflect progression from direct-care work into behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not confirm current supervisory roles. The near balance between BCBA and RBT records suggests a relatively strong supervisory base compared with a larger direct-service workforce, but the overlap means the counts cannot be added as separate provider totals. The registry also reports 15 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that credential and taxonomy categories are not mutually exclusive.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 26 providers, or 84% of the reported workforce. Men account for 4 providers, or 13%, while one nonbinary provider represents 3%. The update flags no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Overall, Charlotte’s records suggest a growing and gender-skewed behavioral health workforce, with ABA access likely to depend on converting credential capacity into active BCBA supervision and available RBT services.
