Philadelphia recorded 30 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry added 19 new providers this week and 24 new registrations this year. The count includes 24 individuals and 6 organizations, indicating a heavily individual-driven flow of behavioral health registrations in the city. The reported national share is rounded to zero, so the update does not show Philadelphia as a large share of nationwide weekly activity.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 2 BCBA providers and 2 RBT providers, with no providers listed as holding both credentials. That is a limited ABA-specific footprint relative to the broader behavioral health activity in the update. BCBA registrations represent potential supervisory capacity, while RBT registrations represent direct-care capacity; the equal counts do not establish that supervision is available for every RBT or that either group is actively accepting clients. Credential categories should also not be treated as mutually exclusive with taxonomy categories: the registry reports 8 providers with multiple taxonomies, and other professionals may hold several credentials.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 17 providers, or 71% of the reported workforce. Men account for 6 providers, or 25%, and one provider is identified as nonbinary, representing 4%. The update lists no notable organizations appearing multiple times, so it provides no clear evidence of concentration under a repeated employer or major ABA chain. The wider credential mix includes counselors, social workers, psychologists and a speech-language pathologist, suggesting Philadelphia’s new registry activity spans multiple behavioral health disciplines. Overall, the data points to broad provider activity but a small identified ABA pipeline, which may constrain access unless additional BCBAs and RBTs enter the local workforce.
