Indianapolis recorded 42 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 24 new providers this week and 25 new providers this year. The local records include 36 individuals and 6 organizations, indicating concentrated registration activity in the city but not necessarily an equivalent number of active practices, clinicians accepting patients or available treatment slots.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 3 BCBAs and 16 RBTs, with no providers listed as holding both credentials. That mix points to a workforce weighted toward direct implementation of services rather than behavior-analytic supervision. In ABA operations, BCBAs supervise RBTs, so the smaller BCBA pool may limit the number of teams that can be supported unless supervisors carry multiple caseloads or work through organizations outside the registry’s local credential counts. Other listed credentials include four LCSWs, an LMHC-A, an MA, BCBA, an LMHC, CRC, an MDIV and a wraparound facilitator. Credential and taxonomy categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive; the registry reports 8 multi-taxonomy providers, so these counts should not be treated as separate shares of the workforce.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 25 providers, or 69% of the reported workforce. Men account for 9 providers, or 25%, while 2 nonbinary providers represent 6%. The update lists no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Indianapolis is the only city represented in the city-level results, with all 42 records assigned there. Overall, the update suggests growing behavioral health registration activity in Indianapolis, but the RBT-heavy mix highlights the need for additional supervisory capacity as ABA access expands.
