Miami's behavioral health sector saw 89 providers added in the latest CMS update, representing 1% of the national total for the week. This group includes 72 individual practitioners and 17 organizations. With 28 providers newly registered this week, the city is showing a significant burst of activity and growth in its provider base.
ABA Credential Mix
Within the new individual providers, the data shows a strong focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. There were 45 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 27 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). These categories are not mutually exclusive; 5 providers hold dual RBT and BCBA credentials, often indicating a career path from technician to supervisor. The resulting ratio of approximately 1.7 RBTs for every BCBA suggests a very high capacity for clinical supervision within Miami's ABA workforce.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce is predominantly female, with 57 female providers making up 79% of the total. Male providers accounted for the remaining 21%, with 15 practitioners. No single organization appeared with multiple new provider registrations in this week's data. This steady influx of both RBTs and supervising BCBAs points to a robust and expanding ABA job market in the Miami area.
