Miami recorded 77 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 34 providers new this week and 36 new this year. Records include 60 individuals and 17 organizations, showing activity from both practitioners and provider entities. That concentration signals a sizable local behavioral health market, although NPI records do not confirm whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or delivering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 13 BCBA providers and 41 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 4 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are included in both counts. They should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares. The dual-credential group may reflect progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not establish current duties. The larger RBT count indicates more listed direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity, a pattern that can constrain clinic growth if BCBA availability does not expand with technician staffing. The registry also reports 24 providers with multiple taxonomies, further underscoring that credential and taxonomy counts cannot simply be added together.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 52 providers, or 87% of the reported workforce. Men account for 8 providers, or 13%; no nonbinary providers are listed. Kendall South Medical Center Inc. appears twice in the registry, making it the only organization identified as appearing multiple times in the supplied data. Miami’s strong RBT presence alongside a smaller BCBA pool suggests that access to ABA services may depend on expanding supervisory capacity as the local direct-care workforce grows.
