Mississippi recorded 49 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 18 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date total to 21. With 44 individuals and 5 organizations, Mississippi’s activity remains a small slice of national registry growth, while the weekly additions indicate fresh provider entry across several local markets.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry identifies 1 BCBA credential and 4 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These credential counts overlap with broader taxonomy and credential fields and should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of the 49-provider total. One provider is listed as “M.ED., BCBA, LBA,” showing that the state’s BCBA presence includes a state-level license layered onto the national certification. The RBT-to-BCBA pattern points to a direct-service workforce that is larger than its identified supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and guide treatment planning, the mix suggests limited clinical supervision capacity relative to potential technician staffing.
Demographics and Provider Activity
Gender data lists 40 female providers, 4 male providers and no nonbinary providers, corresponding to 91%, 9% and 0%. The gender counts total 44, matching the number of individual providers, rather than the full provider count that includes organizations. The leading cities are Tupelo, Oxford, Southaven, Ridgeland and Pascagoula. No notable organization is identified as appearing multiple times in the registry update.
Mississippi’s limited BCBA representation alongside RBT activity suggests that ABA access may expand unevenly unless the state adds supervisory capacity and builds a deeper progression from technician roles into BCBA and LBA practice.
