New Hampshire saw 40 total providers appear in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. This represents a negligible share of the national weekly total, indicating a smaller, more concentrated behavioral health market. Of these, 23 providers were newly added this week, making up almost all of the 24 new providers recorded for the state this year, suggesting a recent surge in enrollment activity.
Credentialing for ABA Services
The credential mix reveals a critical imbalance for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services. New Hampshire reported only 1 BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) among its providers, alongside 8 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). There were no individuals holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. This 8:1 RBT-to-BCBA ratio presents a significant challenge for supervision capacity, as BCBAs are responsible for overseeing RBTs to ensure ethical and effective service delivery. This imbalance suggests potential bottlenecks in scaling ABA services and limits the growth opportunities for RBTs seeking supervision for career advancement.
Workforce Demographics and State Outlook
Demographically, the individual provider landscape in New Hampshire is predominantly female, with 27 female providers making up 79% of the individual workforce, compared to 7 male providers at 21%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this dataset, nor were there any dual-credentialed BCBA+RBT professionals. While 4 providers hold multiple taxonomies, indicating diverse skill sets beyond ABA, the overall data points to a constrained ABA workforce. The limited number of BCBAs relative to RBTs suggests that access to comprehensive, supervised ABA therapy may be challenging across New Hampshire, potentially impacting service availability for individuals requiring behavioral health support.
