Columbus recorded 49 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry lists 25 new providers this week and 26 new providers this year. With 47 individuals and 2 organizations, the activity reflects a clinician-heavy market and a sharp influx of recent registrations. NPI volume is not a direct measure of active caseloads, employment or appointment availability, but the concentration indicates Columbus is an identifiable hub for behavioral health activity in the update.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 2 BCBA providers and 8 RBT providers. These credential and taxonomy counts can overlap with other classifications, so they should not be read as mutually exclusive shares of the total. No provider is recorded with both BCBA and RBT credentials. The eight RBT records compared with two BCBAs suggest more direct-care capacity than supervisory capacity, a pattern that can place limits on program expansion because BCBAs supervise RBTs. The broader credential mix includes social workers, professional counselors, psychologists, a speech-language pathologist and addiction counselors. The dataset reports 13 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that the categories describe overlapping professional roles rather than separate workforce segments.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 37 providers, or 79% of the reported workforce, while men account for 10 providers, or 21%. No nonbinary providers were reported. The notable-organizations field lists no organization appearing multiple times. Repeated surnames in individual records do not establish common employers or organizational relationships. Overall, Columbus’s registry activity points to growing behavioral health participation, but ABA access may depend on expanding the relatively small BCBA supervisory pool alongside RBT recruitment.
