Florida recorded 659 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 6% of the national weekly total. The state added 302 new providers this week, including 545 individuals and 114 organizations. That concentration confirms Florida as one of the country’s largest behavioral health markets, with provider activity substantial enough to affect ABA hiring, contracting and service availability. NPI registrations, however, do not by themselves confirm that a provider is actively delivering care or accepting patients.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 108 BCBA credentials and 314 RBT credentials, along with 33 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: the dual-credential providers are included in the broader credential counts, and credential fields do not represent mutually exclusive portions of Florida’s provider total. The RBT-to-BCBA pattern points to a substantially larger direct-service workforce than supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, oversee treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, that imbalance can create pressure on supervision capacity as clinics expand. The dual-credential group also signals career progression between technician and advanced clinical roles.

Demographics and Activity

Among individual providers, 461 are female, 75 are male and 9 are nonbinary, corresponding to 85%, 14% and 2%. Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Hialeah and Jacksonville are the leading listed cities, showing activity across Florida’s major population centers. Two organizations appear multiple times: Mannaba Counseling Group LLC and Kidz World Therapy Services LLC each have two listings. The registry also reports 143 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that individual records may span more than one service category.

Florida’s strong RBT pipeline suggests expanding ABA access, but the smaller BCBA pool makes supervisory capacity a central workforce constraint.
