Indiana saw the addition of 120 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update, representing 3% of the national total for the period. This consistent, albeit moderate, influx of new providers signals steady growth in the state's behavioral health sector, indicating ongoing demand for services and a continuous pipeline of professionals entering the field.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis field, Indiana's new entries include 4 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 86 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). These figures represent providers whose primary taxonomy or credential designates them as such. Notably, there were no providers with dual BCBA and RBT credentials among this week's additions. The significant ratio of RBTs to BCBAs, exceeding 21:1, indicates a robust pool of direct service providers, yet it also underscores the ongoing demand for BCBAs to provide essential clinical supervision and leadership.
Provider Demographics and Organizations
Among the 107 individual providers, the workforce remains predominantly female, with 82 individuals identifying as female, accounting for 77%. Male providers constitute 11% with 12 individuals, and 13 individuals (12%) identify as nonbinary. On the organizational front, AGANZE HOME CARE LLC appeared twice in the new entries, indicating its active expansion or new service lines. Other organizations largely appeared as single entries.
The continued growth in the RBT workforce, particularly, suggests an expanding capacity for direct ABA service delivery across Indiana, though the BCBA-to-RBT ratio highlights the persistent need for supervisory-level professionals.
