New Hampshire registered a modest total of 23 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. This figure represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a very limited share of new activity for the state this period. Of these, 18 providers were individuals and 5 were organizations. While only 1 provider was newly added this week, the state has seen 10 new providers added this year, suggesting a slow but steady increase in its behavioral health workforce.
Credential Mix and Supervision Landscape
Among the individual providers, the data shows 4 BCBAs and 2 RBTs. Notably, no individuals held dual BCBA and RBT credentials this week. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs, with more BCBAs than RBTs, suggests that BCBAs may be more directly involved in service delivery or supervision of other paraprofessionals, rather than solely overseeing a large RBT workforce, which is common in less mature ABA markets. Additionally, 8 providers hold multiple taxonomies, indicating a broader scope of practice beyond a single specialty.
Workforce Demographics
The individual workforce in New Hampshire displays a clear gender distribution: 14 female providers, constituting 78% of the total, while 2 male providers accounted for 11%. Another 2 individuals (11%) identified as nonbinary. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, indicating a dispersed entry of new providers rather than a concentrated hiring push from a single entity. Activity was noted across cities like Portsmouth, Manchester, and Dover.
This data collectively suggests a relatively small and predominantly female-led entry into New Hampshire's behavioral health workforce, with a focus on a diverse set of credentials, potentially impacting the expansion of specialized ABA services in the state.
