Maine added 16 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national total. This negligible share indicates a modest, localized expansion in the state's behavioral health sector this week, with 8 individuals and 8 organizations enrolling.
ABA Workforce Snapshot
Notably, this week's data for Maine shows 0 new BCBAs and 0 new RBTs, with no individuals holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials. This indicates no immediate growth in the state's ABA-specific workforce from this particular NPI registry update. Instead, the newly enrolled individual providers primarily hold credentials such as two LCPC-Cs, one CADC, one MS, CCC-SLP, one LCSW, and one LMSW-CC, reflecting growth in other mental health and allied health professions.
Provider Demographics
Among the 8 individual providers, the gender distribution is evenly split, with 4 female providers (50%) and 4 male providers (50%). No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data. New providers are distributed across cities including Portland, Houlton, North Berwick, Lewiston, and Hermon.
The complete absence of new ABA-specific credentials in this update suggests no immediate expansion in Maine's capacity for applied behavior analysis services, with growth concentrated in other behavioral health disciplines.
