Maine recorded 30 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 13 providers this week, making Maine’s activity visible in absolute terms but negligible in the national comparison. The total includes 20 individuals and 10 organizations, indicating a provider landscape that combines independent practitioners with agency-based services.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry identifies 3 BCBA credentials and no RBT or dual BCBA-RBT credentials. Those categories are not mutually exclusive with the broader provider count or with other taxonomy fields: six providers carry multiple taxonomies, and the registry includes counselors, social workers, psychologists, speech-language pathologists and behavioral health agencies alongside ABA-designated providers. Still, the absence of reported RBT credentials and the small BCBA count point to a limited ABA workforce in this weekly snapshot. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee assessment and treatment planning, the data indicates little visible direct-service capacity and a narrow supervisory base.
Demographics and Provider Activity
Gender data lists 18 female providers, 2 male providers and no nonbinary providers, corresponding to 90%, 10% and 0%, respectively. The gender counts align with the individual-provider total rather than the full registry count, which also includes organizations. Freeport, Portland, South Portland, Bangor and Lewiston are the leading cities listed for provider activity. No organizations appear in the notable-organizations field multiple times, and the registry does not identify a repeated major ABA chain.
Maine’s update suggests modest, geographically distributed behavioral health activity, but the limited BCBA presence and absence of reported RBT credentials could constrain ABA access and make supervisory capacity a central workforce issue.
