Nebraska recorded 88 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 59 providers this week, with 65 recorded so far this year. The state’s activity is modest in national terms but signals continued behavioral health expansion, particularly across Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, Mc Cook and Bennington. The registry includes 79 individuals and 9 organizations, although NPI records do not by themselves confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or service availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
Nebraska’s credential data lists 3 BCBA credentials and 33 RBT credentials, along with 2 providers identified as holding dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers may be included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so they should not be treated as separate, mutually exclusive portions of the provider total. The pattern still shows a substantially larger direct-service RBT presence than BCBA supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning and quality, that imbalance can create a constraint on how quickly ABA clinics expand. One provider also carries LBA, BCBA and MA credentials, indicating an advanced state-licensed supervisory profile.
Demographics and Activity
Among individual providers, 67 are female, 7 are male and 5 are nonbinary, corresponding to 85%, 9% and 6%. The counts total 79 individuals. Omaha and Lincoln dominate the listed city activity, followed by Bellevue, Mc Cook and Bennington. No notable organizations were identified as appearing multiple times in the update; the 9 organizations represent a varied mix of counseling, speech, addiction and behavioral health entities.
Nebraska’s growing RBT pipeline may support broader ABA access, but the limited BCBA pool makes supervisory recruitment a central workforce issue.
