Hawaii recorded 45 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 27 new providers this week, and all 27 new providers were recorded this year. The update includes 39 individuals and 6 organizations. Hawaii’s zero-percent share signals a small presence in the national registry and a market where weekly additions may change the local picture without indicating broad national growth. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The taxonomy summary lists 15 RBTs and no BCBA or dual BCBA-RBT records. However, the credential-text summary reports 1 BCBA, while the credential summary reports zero. Those fields do not align, so the BCBA count should be treated cautiously rather than as a definitive measure of Hawaii’s supervisory workforce. The RBT and credential categories can also overlap with other classifications and are not mutually exclusive shares of the 45-provider total. Even with that limitation, the update shows substantially more technician-level ABA representation than documented BCBA representation. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning and clinical quality, limited visible supervisory capacity could constrain how quickly technician growth becomes expanded ABA access.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 35 female providers, 4 male providers and no nonbinary providers, corresponding to 90%, 10% and 0%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Honolulu, Hilo, Kapolei, Aiea and Kailua Kona are the listed leading cities, suggesting activity across Oahu and neighboring-island communities rather than in a single location. Eight providers carry multiple taxonomies; that overlap may reflect broader behavioral health roles and should not be read as eight additional providers.
Hawaii’s update suggests growing technician-level activity but a need for clearer BCBA documentation and stronger supervisory capacity to support ABA access across the islands.
