New Jersey's behavioral health sector saw a significant influx of 155 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, accounting for 2% of the national weekly total. This group includes 109 individuals and 46 organizations. The vast majority, 73 providers, were registered this week, indicating a concentrated burst of activity in the state's workforce.

ABA Workforce Composition

Within the ABA field, the data identifies providers registered under specific taxonomies: 16 BCBAs and 12 RBTs. It is important to note these are taxonomy classifications, and with 38 providers in this update holding multiple taxonomy codes, these categories are not mutually exclusive. The higher number of BCBAs relative to RBTs is atypical and suggests a strong supervisory capacity, possibly indicating the formation of new clinics or an expansion of independent practitioners. No providers reported dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this cohort.

Provider Demographics

Among the individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with 88 women comprising 81% of the group. Notable organizations appearing multiple times include APLUSCARE, LLC and BAYADA HOME HEALTH CARE, INC., each with two new NPI registrations, signaling continued growth from established multi-site providers. The update also included a wide range of other licensed professionals, such as 16 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs).

This data points to a robust expansion of supervisory-level and organizational infrastructure in New Jersey's ABA market, which could lead to increased service capacity and new employment opportunities across the state.
