Oklahoma recorded 109 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update includes 49 new providers this week and 57 added this year, with 95 individuals and 14 organizations. That activity gives Oklahoma a visible, though limited, share of national behavioral health registry growth. It signals continued provider entry, but NPI records do not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or available appointments.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 1 BCBA and 33 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These counts should not be read as a complete, mutually exclusive workforce roster: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and the registry’s credential-text field separately reports 3 RBT entries. The summary nevertheless shows a heavily technician-weighted ABA profile, with one listed BCBA alongside 33 RBT taxonomy records. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, that pattern points to limited documented supervisory capacity relative to the technician pool. The registry also identifies 18 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that individual records may represent overlapping roles rather than separate workforce segments.
Demographics and Organizations
Among the 95 individuals, 78 are listed as female, 9 as male and 8 as nonbinary. The corresponding reported shares are 82%, 9% and 8%; they do not total 100% because of rounding. No notable organization is identified as appearing multiple times in the update. The leading listed cities are Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, Moore and Edmond, indicating concentration around the state’s largest urban markets while the registry also includes providers in smaller communities.
Oklahoma’s update suggests a growing but technician-heavy behavioral health workforce, making BCBA recruitment and supervisory coverage important to expanding reliable ABA access statewide.
