Mississippi's behavioral health sector registered 44 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 21 providers added this week alone. This activity accounts for less than 1% of the national total, signaling a small but recently active market. The provider group consists of 34 individuals and 10 organizations, with new activity concentrated in cities like Jackson and Ridgeland.
Credential and Taxonomy Mix
The update shows a very limited expansion of the state's ABA workforce, with just 3 RBTs and 2 BCBAs identified by credential. This low number and tight supervision ratio stand in contrast to a more diverse mix of other licensed professionals, including 3 LCSWs and 2 LPCs. The data also indicates that 11 providers are registered under multiple taxonomies, reflecting a varied scope of practice among the state's behavioral health professionals.
Workforce Demographics
Among individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with women comprising 74% (25 individuals) of the cohort. Male providers account for the remaining 26% (9 individuals). On the organizational side, Quality Solutions Homecare LLC was the only entity to appear more than once in this week's update. This data suggests a modest expansion of Mississippi's overall behavioral health workforce, though growth in specialized ABA services appears limited.
