Idaho recorded 64 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update includes 25 new providers this week and 30 new providers this year. Individuals account for 43 entries, compared with 21 organizations. Idaho’s relatively small share signals a more limited behavioral health market than larger states, while the weekly additions show continued provider movement across both individual practices and organizational entities.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry lists 2 BCBA credentials and 4 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These credential counts overlap with taxonomy and other provider classifications, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of Idaho’s 64 providers. The pattern still points to a small ABA workforce in this update and a limited supervisory base. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, guide treatment planning and oversee clinical quality, the two-to-four credential relationship suggests some direct-service capacity but little depth in the state’s documented BCBA pipeline. The absence of dual credentials also provides no evidence in this update of providers combining both roles.
Demographics and Provider Activity
Among the 43 individual providers, 35 are female, 7 are male and 1 is nonbinary. The registry reports these groups as 81%, 16% and 2%, respectively; the percentages are reported registry values and do not total 100% because of rounding. Listed activity spans Boise, Meridian, Nampa, American Falls and Idaho Falls, indicating concentration in several population centers rather than a single city. HEALTH WEST, INC. appears four times, the only organization identified as recurring multiple times in the data.
Idaho’s small BCBA base relative to RBT activity suggests that supervision capacity may remain the key constraint on expanding ABA access and sustaining workforce growth.
