Washington D.C. added 14 new behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This figure represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a very modest and localized expansion of the behavioral health workforce within the district. Of these, 10 are individual providers and 4 are organizations, all newly enrolled this week.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis sector, the data identifies 3 new Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) by their taxonomy. Crucially, there were 0 new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 0 individuals with dual BCBA and RBT credentials among this week's additions. This absence of new BCBAs, who are essential for supervising RBTs and developing treatment plans, suggests that while direct service capacity may see a slight increase, the critical supervisory infrastructure for ABA services in D.C. has not grown this week.
Provider Demographics
Among the 10 individual providers, the gender breakdown shows 60% female, 30% male, and 10% nonbinary. All new providers are based in Washington D.C. and no specific organizations were noted as appearing multiple times in this update.
The limited number of new providers, particularly the lack of new BCBAs, indicates that this week's additions will have a minimal immediate impact on expanding ABA access or strengthening the supervisory workforce in Washington D.C.
