Miami's behavioral health sector registered 62 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration signals Miami's consistent activity in the country's behavioral health workforce. Of these, 23 new providers registered this week, contributing to 27 new registrations this year. The total includes 45 individual practitioners and 17 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 16 BCBA providers and 28 RBT providers. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, as 6 dual-credentialed providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, indicating a career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. This ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a developing supervision capacity, crucial for maintaining quality ABA services. Additionally, Miami's behavioral health landscape includes other professionals such as those with LMHC, CBHCM-S, and BCABA credentials, broadening the scope of care.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Miami is predominantly female, with 35 female providers accounting for 78% of the total, while 10 male providers constitute 22%. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent providers and smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains. The consistent influx of new providers, particularly in the ABA sector, points to an expanding workforce poised to enhance access to behavioral health services for families in Miami.
