Ohio recorded 361 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 4% of the national weekly total. The update includes 167 providers added this week and 189 added this year, with 330 individuals and 31 organizations. That concentration makes Ohio one of the more active state markets in this snapshot, although NPI records measure registry activity rather than confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability. The volume signals a broad and continuing behavioral health provider pipeline across the state.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary lists 6 BCBAs and 31 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT records. These credential categories are not a complete, mutually exclusive workforce census: providers may carry multiple credentials, and the “other” field includes additional BCBA-related entries, including two records labeled “MS, BCBA, COBA.” The broader taxonomy data also reports 121 providers with multiple taxonomies. Even with those overlaps, the registry shows a much larger technician pool than documented BCBA pool. That pattern can support direct-service capacity, but it also points to potential supervisory constraints because BCBAs oversee RBT implementation, treatment planning and quality monitoring.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 255 female providers, 69 male providers and 6 nonbinary providers—77%, 21% and 2%, respectively. The listed leading cities are Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo and Dayton, indicating activity across Ohio’s major population centers. Connections Recovery Services appears twice in the organizational records. Repeated NPIs or organizational entries do not necessarily represent separate employers or operating sites, so they should be read as registry records rather than market-share measures.

Ohio’s update suggests expanding behavioral health participation but a comparatively limited documented BCBA supervisory base, making BCBA recruitment important to sustained ABA access.
