New Mexico recorded 112 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update added 48 new providers this week, bringing the state’s year-to-date count to 56. The registry includes 91 individuals and 21 organizations. A 1% national share points to a relatively small state market, but the volume of recent additions suggests active provider registration rather than a static behavioral health landscape. NPI activity does not establish active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 5 BCBA credentials and 33 RBT credentials, including 2 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: the dual count is included within the BCBA and RBT totals, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of the provider total. The resulting credential pattern shows a much larger technician pool than documented BCBA supervisory pool. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, the ratio suggests that supervisory capacity could constrain how quickly technician growth becomes expanded ABA access. The registry also includes social workers, counselors, speech-language pathologists, psychologists and other behavioral health professionals.
Demographics and Organizations
Among records with reported gender, 68 providers are female, 20 are male and 3 are nonbinary, corresponding to 75%, 22% and 3%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Los Lunas and Santa Fe are the leading listed cities, indicating activity across several population centers rather than one single market. The registry reports 27 providers with multiple taxonomies; those classifications can describe overlapping roles and should not be interpreted as 27 additional providers.
New Mexico’s update suggests growing technician-level ABA capacity alongside a limited documented BCBA base, making supervisor recruitment important to improving access across the state.
