Phoenix's behavioral health sector saw 10 new providers registered in the latest CMS update, representing a small fraction (0%) of the national weekly total. This week's additions include 7 individual practitioners and 3 organizations, contributing to the city's diverse healthcare landscape.
ABA Credential Breakdown
The update shows 2 providers with a BCBA taxonomy, one being an individual and the other an organization. Additionally, 4 providers are registered with an RBT taxonomy, all of whom are individuals. It's important to note these categories are not mutually exclusive in the broader sense, though no dual BCBA+RBT credentials were observed in this specific update. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs, at 1:2, suggests a favorable supervisory capacity for direct ABA services, crucial for quality care delivery.
Workforce Demographics
Among the 7 individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with 5 (71%) identifying as female and 2 (29%) as male. No specific organizations were noted as appearing multiple times in this week's registry. This consistent, albeit small, addition of direct-service RBTs and supervising BCBAs points to a gradual expansion of ABA services in Phoenix, enhancing access to care for local families.
