Mississippi recorded 41 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 25 new providers this week and lists 28 new providers this year, indicating a recent burst of registration activity even though Mississippi remains a very small portion of the national update. The file includes 39 individuals and 2 organizations. NPI activity reflects registry enrollment, not necessarily active clinical capacity, open appointments or completed service availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
Credential data lists 1 BCBA, 8 RBTs and no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These credential counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of the 41-provider total, because credential and taxonomy fields can overlap or describe different aspects of the same provider. The BCBA taxonomy also includes one provider holding an LBA, a state-level license commonly layered onto BCBA practice. The pattern shows a substantially larger direct-service RBT pool than BCBA supervisory pool. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning and clinical quality, the gap suggests limited supervisory capacity relative to the registered technician workforce.
Demographics and Activity
Among the listed individuals, 33 are female, 5 are male and 1 is nonbinary, corresponding to 85%, 13% and 3%. The gender counts total 39, matching the individual-provider count. The registry’s listed activity spans Jackson, Ridgeland, Tupelo, Hattiesburg and Gulfport, with additional providers in communities including Flowood, Columbus and Gulfport. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update; the two organizations are listed separately.
Mississippi’s RBT-heavy profile points to potential growth in direct ABA service capacity, but the single BCBA signals that supervision and clinical leadership may constrain broader access.
