Nevada saw 71 behavioral health providers added or updated in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, with 32 providers new this week. This represents 1% of the national weekly total, indicating a steady but smaller growth trajectory compared to more populous states. The total includes 55 individual practitioners and 16 organizations.
Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
For the ABA industry specifically, the data shows 4 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 24 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) by credential. It is important to note that one provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials, signifying career advancement within the field. This results in a ratio of 6 RBTs for every BCBA, suggesting a healthy supervisory capacity to support direct service delivery in Nevada. Beyond ABA, the update also includes 8 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs).
Workforce Demographics and Organizational Activity
The individual workforce in Nevada is predominantly female, with 46 female providers accounting for 84% of individuals, while 9 male providers make up the remaining 16%. No nonbinary providers were reported in this update. Activity is concentrated in major population centers like Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times in this week's data to highlight as dominant multi-state employers.
Overall, this NPI data suggests a consistent, albeit modest, expansion of Nevada's behavioral health workforce, particularly within the ABA sector, which is vital for improving access to care across the state.
