Los Angeles had 89 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 1% of the national weekly total. The registry reports 47 new this week and 52 new this year; 79 records are individuals and 10 are organizations. That city-level concentration signals a substantial recorded provider presence, but NPI listings do not establish who is currently practicing, accepting patients or delivering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry lists 3 BCBA providers and 22 RBT providers, with no dual BCBA-and-RBT credentials. The larger RBT count points to more listed direct-care providers than supervisors, a pattern that can make BCBA capacity important for assessment, treatment planning and oversight. These credential counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares: credential categories can overlap, although the data reports no dual credentials here. Separately, 21 providers have multiple taxonomies, so taxonomy classifications also are not mutually exclusive. The registry’s categories are not a complete measure of local ABA staffing or caseload capacity.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 51 listed providers (65%), men 18 (23%), and nonbinary providers 10 (13%). The supplied percentages add to more than 100% because of rounding. The data identifies no notable organizations appearing multiple times, though it lists 10 organizations overall. Records span behavioral health and other service types, including counseling, social work, speech-language pathology and RBT taxonomy entries; the total therefore should not be read as an ABA-only count. The registry’s snapshot suggests a larger listed direct-care than BCBA workforce, making supervisory availability a key consideration as providers seek to expand ABA access in Los Angeles.
