Guam (GU) registered 5 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, contributing a negligible share of the national weekly total. No new providers were added this week or this year, indicating a static presence within this specific dataset.
Provider Credentials and ABA Workforce
The credential mix for Guam in this update notably lacks any BCBA or RBT professionals, which are foundational to the applied behavior analysis (ABA) industry. Instead, the listed providers include 4 M.D.s and 1 LCSW, BCD. This absence means the current NPI registry update for Guam does not reflect the ABA workforce, making it impossible to assess ABA supervision capacity or direct service provision from this data. For BCBAs, who supervise RBTs, and RBTs, who provide direct care, their inclusion in future updates would be essential to understand the state of ABA services in GU.
Workforce Demographics
All 5 providers in this update are individuals, with no organizations appearing. The gender distribution shows 3 male providers, representing 60% of the total, and 2 female providers, accounting for 40%. No notable organizations were listed multiple times, suggesting a landscape of individual practitioners rather than dominant multi-state chains like Blue Sprig or Action Behavior Centers in this particular dataset.
The complete absence of ABA-specific credentials in this update suggests a significant gap in the reported ABA workforce for Guam, which could indicate challenges for access to specialized ABA services within the territory.
