New Hampshire's behavioral health sector added 33 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing less than 1% of the national weekly total. This group consists of 25 individuals and 8 organizations, with 13 of the total being new registrations this week. This activity, while modest, indicates a recent administrative push among providers in the state.
Workforce Composition
The update reveals a significant gap in the ABA workforce, with 0 BCBAs and 2 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) registering. This absence of new supervisory-level ABA professionals alongside frontline technicians points to a potential supervision bottleneck for this cohort. The provider mix was dominated by other mental health professionals, primarily licensed counselors and social workers. Notably, 9 providers listed multiple taxonomies, reflecting a trend toward multidisciplinary service offerings.
Provider Demographics
Among the individual providers, women represent the vast majority, accounting for 84% of the group. No large, private equity-backed chains or other notable organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data. New provider registrations were geographically concentrated in cities such as Manchester, Nashua, and Salem.
This data suggests that while New Hampshire's broader mental health field is seeing some growth, the state's ABA-specific workforce is not expanding in parallel, which could pose challenges for access to applied behavior analysis services.
