New York saw 369 behavioral health providers added to the CMS NPI registry this past week, representing 4% of the national total. This consistent activity highlights the state's ongoing demand for behavioral health services and its substantial contribution to the national healthcare workforce.

ABA Workforce Composition

Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows 11 BCBA credentials and 22 RBT credentials. Notably, there were no individuals recorded with dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. The resulting ratio of 2 RBTs for every BCBA indicates a foundational level of direct service capacity relative to supervisory roles. For ABA clinics, this ratio is critical as BCBAs are responsible for supervising RBTs and developing treatment plans, making the balance between these credentials a key indicator of a state's ability to scale ABA services effectively.

Provider Demographics and Key Organizations

Of the 326 individual providers, 79% are female (259 individuals), 15% are male (50 individuals), and 5% identify as nonbinary (17 individuals), reflecting typical gender distribution within behavioral health. Among organizations, GENERAL PHYSICIAN, PC and INDUSTRIAL MEDICINE ASSOCIATES, PC each appeared 2 times, indicating their active presence in the state's provider landscape. This steady influx of providers suggests an ongoing effort to meet the demand for behavioral health services, including ABA, across New York.
