Michigan recorded 552 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 5% of the national weekly total. The state added 348 new providers this week, including 486 individuals and 66 organizations. That concentration places Michigan among the more active state markets in the update and signals a substantial behavioral health ecosystem for hiring, contracting and service expansion. NPI activity reflects registry enrollment, however, and does not by itself confirm active caseloads or available appointments.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 16 BCBA credentials, 256 RBT credentials and two dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap and should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of Michigan’s provider total. The separate credential-text field lists four RBT entries, illustrating how formatting and taxonomy fields can produce different counts. Even so, the pattern is clear: Michigan has a much larger RBT direct-service workforce than BCBA supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, design treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, the imbalance points to a potential supervision constraint as ABA staffing expands. The two dual credentials indicate limited documented movement across the direct-service and supervisory career tracks.

Demographics and Provider Activity

Gender data identifies 403 female providers, 68 male providers and 15 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 83%, 14% and 3%. The counts total 486, matching the number of individual providers. MyMichigan Medical Center Sault appears seven times, followed by MyMichigan Medical Center Saginaw with six and MyMichigan Medical Center Alma with five. Michigan Rural Health Clinic, Ashley Kays Zair and Breathing Room Therapy each appear twice.

Michigan’s RBT-heavy registry activity suggests growing ABA delivery capacity, but the smaller BCBA pool makes supervisory recruitment central to improving access.
