North Dakota registered a total of 23 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a minimal volume of new NPI registrations in the state compared to national activity this week. All 5 new providers added to the registry this year were recorded in this single weekly update, suggesting a recent, concentrated burst of NPI applications.
Credential Mix and Workforce Composition
Among the 23 providers, no BCBA, RBT, or dual BCBA+RBT credentials were identified in this update. This signifies a static week for the ABA workforce within this specific NPI data for North Dakota, offering no new capacity for supervision or direct ABA services. Other behavioral health credentials present included 1 CM, 1 LAC, and 1 CCC-SLP, reflecting a broader scope of mental health and therapeutic services beyond ABA.
Demographics and Organizational Footprint
Of the 9 individual providers, 7 female providers accounted for 78% of the individual workforce. There was also 1 male provider (11%) and 1 nonbinary provider (11%). The registry also included 14 organizations. Several organizations appeared multiple times, indicating their significant presence or diverse service offerings within the state. For instance, North Central Behavioral Health Clinic, Southeast Behavioral Health Clinic, and South Central Behavioral Health Clinic each had 2 entries in the registry. This suggests these entities operate with multiple NPIs, potentially for different service lines or locations, such as a clinic and a community behavioral health organization, as seen in the detailed provider list.
This week's data suggests a stable but not expanding ABA workforce in North Dakota, with no new BCBA or RBT professionals, which could impact access to ABA services if demand continues to grow.
