Indianapolis recorded 25 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 14 new providers this week and lists 15 new providers this year. Records include 19 individuals and 6 organizations, signaling fresh provider activity in a market that remains modest in the national comparison. The NPI count is not a direct measure of active clinicians, staffed locations, or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 2 BCBA providers and 8 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials and is counted in both totals. The dual credential can indicate progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not show whether that individual currently supervises RBTs. Even with that overlap, Indianapolis has more RBTs than BCBAs, a pattern that may support direct services while constraining supervision capacity as caseloads grow. The credential categories also do not capture the full behavioral health workforce: the update lists 4 LCSWs, 2 LMHCs, and 3 providers with multiple taxonomies. Those classifications should not be added as mutually exclusive groups.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 16 providers, or 84% of the reported workforce. Men account for 2 providers, or 11%, while 1 nonbinary provider represents 5%. The registry identifies no notable organization appearing multiple times. Indianapolis’s mix of RBTs, BCBAs and broader behavioral health clinicians suggests expanding workforce activity, but improving ABA access will depend on adding supervisory capacity alongside direct-care staff.
