Columbus has 46 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 0% of the national weekly total as reported in the data. The registry lists 26 new providers this week and 28 this year. The reported share indicates that Columbus represents a very small portion of weekly national additions, though the 46 records reflect all listed providers in the city, not only those newly registered. NPI records do not confirm whether providers are currently practicing or accepting patients.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry reports 3 BCBA providers and 4 RBT providers, with no dual BCBA-and-RBT credentials. These credential counts are not a complete or mutually exclusive breakdown of Columbus’s workforce: the dataset also lists other credentials, and taxonomy classifications may overlap. The small difference between RBT and BCBA counts offers only a limited view of supervision capacity; in ABA, BCBAs supervise RBTs, but these registry totals alone cannot show actual caseloads or supervisory relationships. Five providers have multiple taxonomies, further cautioning against treating classifications as separate workforce groups. The overall provider count includes 41 individuals and five organizations.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 25 providers (61%), men for 15 (37%), and nonbinary providers for one (2%). The data names no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Columbus’s registry entries span ABA-related roles and other behavioral health disciplines, including counseling, social work, case management and addiction counseling. This breadth may indicate a varied local provider base, but the registry does not show how many entries deliver ABA services. Overall, Columbus’s small listed BCBA and RBT counts suggest that assessing ABA access requires more information about active practice and supervision capacity than NPI totals alone provide.
