Denver's behavioral health sector saw 35 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 22 new registrations this week. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating that while Denver has new additions, its contribution to the national weekly influx is comparatively small. Of these, 24 are individual practitioners and 11 are organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Within the individual practitioner data, there are 3 BCBAs and 3 RBTs. It's important to note that no providers in this week's update held dual BCBA and RBT credentials. The 1:1 ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a robust supervisory capacity, which is crucial for maintaining high-quality ABA services. Beyond ABA, Denver also registered other behavioral health professionals, including 2 LPCCs, 1 PSYD, and 1 LPC, reflecting a broader mental health workforce.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Denver is predominantly female, with 19 female providers accounting for 79% of the total. Male providers number 4, making up 17%, while 1 nonbinary provider constitutes 4%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's registry for Denver, indicating a diverse range of new entities rather than a concentration around a few large employers.
This week's data, particularly the strong BCBA-to-RBT ratio, suggests a healthy foundation for supervision in Denver's ABA landscape, potentially supporting accessible and well-supervised care for local families.
