Nevada recorded 21 new behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a very small contribution to the overall growth of the national behavioral health workforce in this specific period.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis sector, the data shows 9 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 3 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) identified by taxonomy. It is important to note that only 1 individual explicitly listed "BCBA" as their credential, while other BCBAs were identified by their taxonomy. There were no providers with dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this week's update. The 3-to-1 ratio of RBTs to BCBAs suggests a healthy foundation for direct service delivery under supervision, which is crucial for expanding ABA access.
Provider Demographics
Of the 14 individual providers added, the workforce is predominantly female, with 11 individuals accounting for 79%. Male providers totaled 3 individuals, making up 21%. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data. The new additions include 7 organizations and 14 individuals, with most activity concentrated in Las Vegas and Henderson.
This week's modest influx of providers, particularly the RBTs, suggests a steady but slow expansion of direct ABA service capacity in Nevada.
