Nevada recorded 97 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 51 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date count to 58. The update lists 81 individuals and 16 organizations. Nevada’s relatively small national share signals a concentrated but limited provider market, with activity centered in Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Sparks and Elko. NPI registrations indicate provider activity, not necessarily open clinical capacity or completed service availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential data lists 8 BCBA credentials, 38 RBT credentials and 1 dual credential identifying BCBA and RBT status. These categories overlap: the dual credential is included in the broader credential picture, and credential fields and taxonomy fields can describe the same provider differently. They should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of Nevada’s provider total. The much larger RBT count compared with the BCBA count points to a direct-service workforce that may have limited supervisory depth. BCBAs are responsible for clinical oversight, treatment planning and RBT supervision, so a relatively small BCBA pool can constrain how quickly clinics expand services. The dual credential suggests at least one provider has progressed across direct-service and advanced clinical roles.
Demographics and Activity
Among the 81 individual providers, 63 are female, 16 are male and 2 are nonbinary, corresponding to 78%, 20% and 2%. No notable organizations are identified as appearing multiple times in the update. The presence of 27 providers with multiple taxonomies also shows that registry records may capture professionals working across related behavioral health roles, rather than a single, neatly separated workforce.
Nevada’s RBT-heavy mix suggests demand for ABA direct-service staff, while the smaller BCBA base indicates that supervision capacity will remain central to improving access.
