Iowa recorded 43 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The file lists 24 new this week and 28 this year, with 27 individuals and 16 organizations. The reported share rounds to zero, indicating Iowa accounts for a very small portion of national weekly registry activity. NPI additions reflect registry records, not necessarily new hires, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 2 BCBAs and 6 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. The categories are not a complete workforce census, and the registry does not identify supervisory relationships; still, the three-to-one RBT-to-BCBA count points to a comparatively small listed supervisor pool. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, growth in technician records does not by itself establish capacity to support more ABA services. The provider records also include BCBA taxonomy listings for an individual and Genesis ABA Therapy LLC, illustrating that taxonomy and credential fields may classify providers differently.
Demographics and Organizations
Women account for 25 listed providers, or 93%; two are nonbinary, or 7%, and none are reported as male. These figures describe the individuals in the update, not the full Iowa behavioral health workforce. No notable organizations were flagged as appearing multiple times. The records include Way Above ABA IA LLC and Genesis ABA Therapy LLC, each listed once, alongside providers across several cities, including West Des Moines and Iowa City.
Iowa’s update shows RBT representation exceeding BCBA representation, but the limited number of listed BCBAs makes supervisory capacity an important consideration as ABA provider activity expands.
