Indianapolis saw 34 behavioral health providers added to the CMS NPI registry, with 21 new this week. This represents less than 1% of the national weekly total, suggesting localized growth rather than a widespread surge. The new additions include 29 individual practitioners and 5 organizations, indicating a mix of independent providers and structured clinical entities.
Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
The credential mix shows a significant number of direct-service providers, with 15 RBTs listed. However, there are 0 BCBAs and 0 dual BCBA+RBT credentials among the new registrants. This imbalance is notable for the ABA sector, as RBTs require supervision from BCBAs to deliver services. Beyond ABA, the update also includes 4 Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), 3 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), 1 Certified Social Worker (CSW), and 1 Master of Social Work (MSW), indicating a broader scope of mental health professionals.
Workforce Demographics
Among the 29 individual practitioners, the workforce is predominantly female, with 19 female providers constituting 66%. There are also 4 male providers and 6 nonbinary providers. No single organization appeared multiple times in this update. This data suggests a growing pool of direct-care RBTs in Indianapolis, but the absence of new BCBA registrants highlights a potential challenge for supervision capacity and the expansion of comprehensive ABA services in the area.
