Philadelphia recorded 18 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry lists 17 new providers this week and 17 new providers this year. With 17 individuals and 1 organization, the activity reflects a largely clinician-driven increase in NPI registrations. The city’s reported share rounds to zero in the dataset, so the update signals local registration activity without indicating a large portion of national weekly activity.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 2 BCBA providers and 2 RBT providers. No providers are recorded with both BCBA and RBT credentials. These credential counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive with the broader taxonomy data: the registry also includes professionals with LCSW, LBS, MA, LMFT, LSW, PHD, LCSW, MED, and MA, LPC credentials. In addition, 2 providers have multiple taxonomies. The equal BCBA and RBT counts suggest a small ABA workforce in this weekly snapshot, with limited visible supervisory capacity relative to direct-care staffing. NPI records do not establish employment relationships, caseloads, active availability, or whether clinicians work in the same practice.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 16 providers, or 94% of the reported workforce. Men account for 1 provider, or 6%, and no nonbinary providers are reported. Practice Space Therapy LLC is the only organization listed, while no organization appears multiple times in the notable-organization data. Overall, Philadelphia’s update suggests expanding registration activity across ABA and adjacent behavioral health roles, but the small number of BCBAs points to a potential need for additional supervisors as local service access grows.
