Idaho registered 43 new behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration signals a consistent, measured expansion of behavioral health resources within the state. The majority of these new entries were organizations, with 24 organizations compared to 19 individual providers.
ABA Workforce Snapshot
Within the ABA field, the update includes 8 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 2 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). The data indicates no individuals with dual BCBA and RBT credentials this week. This 4-to-1 ratio of RBTs to BCBAs suggests a foundational capacity for direct ABA service delivery, supported by a smaller supervisory contingent.
Demographic Insights
Among the 19 individual providers, women represent the majority, accounting for 79%. Male providers comprise 16%, with 1 individual identifying as nonbinary, making up 5%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a diverse entry of new entities rather than significant expansion from existing multi-state chains.
This week's data points to a steady, localized growth in Idaho's behavioral health sector, with a particular emphasis on building the RBT workforce to enhance direct ABA service capacity.
