Maryland recorded 247 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 133 new providers this week, including 212 individuals and 35 organizations. That concentration makes Maryland a meaningful regional behavioral health market, with activity likely to influence hiring, contracting and service availability. NPI registrations do not, by themselves, confirm active caseloads, open appointments or current clinical capacity.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential data lists 14 BCBA credentials, 91 RBT credentials and one dual BCBA-RBT credential. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of the 247-provider total; credential and taxonomy fields can describe the same provider in different ways. The large gap between RBTs and BCBAs points to a workforce weighted toward direct implementation of treatment, with a smaller pool of clinicians available to supervise, design programs and monitor quality. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, limited supervisory capacity can slow how quickly Maryland clinics expand services. The single dual credential suggests that movement between technician and advanced clinical roles is present but uncommon in this update.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 151 female providers, 26 male providers and 35 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 71%, 12% and 17%. The registry’s listed cities include Baltimore, Columbia, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring and Towson, showing activity across major population centers rather than one locality. Mind-4-Concepts Outpatient Mental Health LLC appears twice. Repeated organizational entries may represent separate NPIs or taxonomies and should not be read as equivalent to separate clinical teams or service capacity.

Maryland’s strong RBT presence alongside a smaller BCBA pool suggests expanding ABA workforce supply, but supervision capacity will remain central to improving access.
