San Antonio recorded 51 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry lists 33 new providers this week and 35 new providers this year. The city’s records include 44 individuals and 7 organizations. That mix reflects concentrated registration activity, but NPI counts measure records rather than active practices, caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 5 BCBA providers and 22 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials and is counted in each total, so the groups are not mutually exclusive. The RBT-to-BCBA pattern points to a workforce weighted toward direct-care delivery, with a smaller pool of supervisors available to oversee treatment teams. That imbalance can limit expansion if BCBAs are managing growing caseloads, although the registry does not show employment relationships, supervision arrangements or active caseloads.
Workforce Demographics
Among the reported workforce, 33 providers are female, representing 75%; 9 providers are male, representing 20%; and 2 providers are nonbinary, representing 5%. The gender counts total the individual-provider records rather than all provider records. No notable organization appears multiple times in the supplied data. Taxonomy and credential fields also overlap: 6 providers have multiple taxonomies, while additional records carry counseling, social-work, speech-language and substance-use credentials. Overall, San Antonio’s registry activity suggests expanding behavioral health participation, particularly among RBTs, while highlighting the need to grow BCBA supervisory capacity to support broader ABA access.
