New Hampshire added 8 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This minimal activity indicates a very limited expansion of the state's behavioral health workforce during this period, comprising 7 individuals and 1 organization.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis sector, the update includes 2 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) but 0 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). The absence of new BCBAs is a critical point, as BCBAs are essential for supervising RBTs and overseeing ABA treatment plans. This imbalance suggests a potential constraint on the state's capacity for supervised ABA service delivery, even with new RBTs entering the field. Beyond ABA-specific roles, one individual listed a "BA" credential and another an "MA, LCMHC, NCC" credential, reflecting a broader mix of behavioral health professionals. One provider also listed multiple taxonomies.
Provider Demographics
Among the individual providers, the gender breakdown shows 4 female providers, accounting for 57%, and 3 nonbinary providers, making up 43%. There were no male providers in this week's additions. No organizations appeared multiple times in the data. The limited influx of BCBAs this week suggests a continued challenge for scaling ABA services and ensuring adequate supervision in New Hampshire.
