Michigan recorded 626 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, representing 6% of the national weekly total. The file includes 573 individuals and 53 organizations, with 399 entries listed as new this week. That concentration places Michigan among the more active states in this update and signals a substantial behavioral health market with ongoing workforce and provider-entity activity. NPI registrations do not, however, confirm active caseloads, hiring plans or available appointments.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 28 BCBA credentials and 325 RBT credentials, including 7 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of Michigan’s provider total: a provider can appear in more than one credential or taxonomy category, and credential text may differ from the taxonomy field. The wide gap between BCBAs and RBTs indicates a workforce weighted toward direct implementation of treatment, with fewer credentialed supervisors available to oversee that work. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, design treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, supervisory capacity may limit how quickly technician growth translates into expanded ABA access. The dual-credential count suggests some career progression between technician and supervisory roles, but it remains a small part of the registry’s credential activity.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 473 female providers, 73 male providers and 27 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 83%, 13% and 5%. The leading listed cities are Farmington Hills, Grand Rapids, Southfield, Ann Arbor and Plymouth, indicating activity across major metropolitan and regional centers. Michigan Rural Health Clinic, P.C. appears twice among notable organizations. Repeated entries represent multiple NPIs, not necessarily separate employers, locations or equivalent clinical capacity.

Michigan’s strong RBT presence points to continued direct-service workforce expansion, while its smaller BCBA pool makes recruitment and retention of supervisors central to future ABA access.
