North Carolina recorded 366 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 4% of the national weekly total. The update includes 295 individuals and 71 organizations, with 169 records added this week and 211 added this year. That concentration places North Carolina among the more active markets in the weekly snapshot and signals a substantial pipeline of behavioral health participation. NPI activity does not confirm staffing, caseloads, open positions or appointment availability, but the volume suggests a broad provider base across the state.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry identifies 26 BCBAs, 95 RBTs and 2 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are included in the broader BCBA and RBT counts and should not be treated as separate groups. The data also lists 77 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that registry classifications can describe overlapping roles. The much larger RBT count points to stronger direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity. In ABA operations, that pattern can support treatment delivery only if enough BCBAs are available to supervise RBTs, oversee clinical programs and maintain quality. Several records also combine BCBA credentials with an LBA, reflecting career progression and state-level licensure layered onto certification.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 234 female providers, 37 male providers and 24 nonbinary providers, or 79%, 13% and 8%, respectively. The registry’s repeated organizational names include Wendy K. Bradsher Fuller DBA Falcon Crest Residential Care, Wilder Wellness Center and LM Serenity Inc., each appearing 2 times. Those repeated records may represent separate NPIs or locations rather than distinct employers. Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Durham and Greensboro are the leading listed cities.

North Carolina’s update suggests expanding behavioral health participation, but ABA access will depend on converting its large technician pool into capacity supported by enough BCBAs.
