Indianapolis saw 35 behavioral health providers added in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This represents a modest contribution to the national weekly total, indicating localized growth within the city. Of these, 34 are individual practitioners and 1 is an organization. Notably, 11 providers were newly registered this week, suggesting a recent surge in workforce expansion.
ABA Credential Mix
Within the individual provider landscape, the data highlights a significant presence of Applied Behavior Analysis professionals. There are 5 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 14 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). These categories are not mutually exclusive, as 1 provider holds dual BCBA and RBT credentials, often reflecting career progression. The ratio of 2.8 RBTs for every BCBA suggests a healthy capacity for clinical supervision within Indianapolis's ABA workforce. Additionally, the data includes other behavioral health professionals such as 4 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), 2 Licensed Social Workers (LSWs), and 2 Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), contributing to a diverse care ecosystem.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Indianapolis is predominantly female, with 30 female practitioners accounting for 88% of the total. Male providers comprise the remaining 4 individuals, or 12%. No single organization appeared with multiple new provider registrations in this week's data. This consistent influx of both foundational and supervisory ABA professionals, alongside other mental health practitioners, points to a steadily expanding behavioral health workforce in the Indianapolis area.
