Pennsylvania recorded 253 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 135 new providers this week, including 206 individuals and 47 organizations. Pennsylvania’s share signals a substantial contribution to nationwide behavioral health provider activity, with registrations spread across major markets including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Wyomissing and Wilkes Barre.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary reports 10 BCBA credentials and 53 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These figures are not mutually exclusive shares: NPI credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and the registry’s credential-text field separately identifies 3 RBT credentials. The pattern nevertheless shows a much larger direct-service technician presence than supervisory representation. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, the mix points to a potential supervision bottleneck as Pennsylvania’s ABA capacity expands. The appearance of Keystone Applied Behavior Analysis and Kutest Kids Early Intervention among the BCBA-taxonomy providers also confirms activity from ABA-focused organizations.

Demographics and Provider Activity

Gender data identifies 166 providers as female, 32 as male and 8 as nonbinary, corresponding to 81%, 16% and 4%. Those counts total 206, matching the number of individual providers. The notable-organizations field shows repeated entries for Children’s Service Center of Wyoming Valley: one name variant appears 5 times and another appears 3 times. The repeated NPIs span community behavioral health, counseling and case management taxonomies, so they should not be read as eight separate organizations.

Pennsylvania’s rapid registry activity and RBT-heavy mix suggest broader ABA access, while the smaller BCBA presence may limit how quickly services can be supervised and scaled.
