Georgia recorded 203 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The state’s share marks a measurable contribution to national registry activity, though it does not establish how many providers are newly hired or accepting patients. The update includes 104 providers added this week and 116 added this year, with 173 individuals and 30 organizations in the state total.
ABA Credential Mix
The credential summary lists 20 BCBAs and 60 RBTs, plus 5 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credential providers may also appear in both credential totals, so the counts are not mutually exclusive. The RBT count is three times the BCBA count, suggesting a larger technician pool than the listed potential supervisor pool. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, the difference highlights the importance of supervisory capacity as the technician workforce grows; registry counts alone do not show actual caseloads or available supervision. The data also identifies 33 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason not to treat classifications as separate groups.
Demographics and Organizations
Women account for 153 providers (88%), men 17 (10%), and nonbinary providers 3 (2%). These figures describe the full listed provider population, not ABA workers alone. The notable-organizations field is empty, so the update identifies no organizations appearing multiple times there. Atlanta, Savannah, Marietta, Columbus and Augusta are the leading listed cities, indicating activity across several population centers rather than a single metropolitan area.
Georgia’s registry shows a substantial RBT presence relative to BCBA records, making the availability and geographic reach of qualified supervisors central to translating workforce activity into ABA access.
