Nevada saw a total of 68 behavioral health providers added in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. A significant portion of these, 38 providers, were new registrations this week alone, making up the majority of the 40 new providers added to the registry for the entire year to date. This indicates a concentrated recent surge in NPI applications within the state. Of the total, 56 providers are individuals and 12 are organizations.
ABA Workforce Composition
Focusing on the ABA workforce, the data shows 6 BCBA professionals and 35 RBT individuals. Notably, 2 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, indicating individuals who maintain both certifications, often signaling career progression or a desire for comprehensive skill sets. The resulting ratio of approximately 5.8 RBTs for every BCBA (35 RBTs to 6 BCBAs) is lower than the typical industry standard of 8-10 RBTs per BCBA. This suggests a potentially strong supervisory capacity or a well-supported RBT workforce in Nevada. Beyond ABA, the registry also captured a diverse range of other behavioral health professionals, with 14 providers holding multiple taxonomies, indicating a breadth of services.
Provider Demographics
Among the individual providers, the gender breakdown shows a significant female majority, with 48 individuals (86%) identifying as female and 8 individuals (14%) as male. No nonbinary providers were listed in this update. The data did not identify any specific organizations appearing multiple times in this week's additions, suggesting a broad distribution of new organizational entries rather than a single dominant entity. This influx of providers, particularly the favorable RBT-to-BCBA ratio, suggests a strengthening behavioral health workforce in Nevada, potentially improving access to services across the state.
