San Diego recorded 65 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update lists 32 new providers this week and 34 new providers this year, including 60 individuals and five organizations. That concentration signals active provider-registration activity in the city, but NPI records do not confirm that a provider is practicing, accepting patients, staffing a clinic or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 2 BCBA providers and 27 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials and is included in each count. The dual-credential figure is notable relative to the small BCBA group, potentially reflecting progression from direct care toward behavior-analytic supervision. Even so, the imbalance points to substantially greater registered technician capacity than supervisory capacity, a pattern that can constrain caseload growth and clinical oversight. The data also reports 16 providers with multiple taxonomies, so credential and taxonomy categories overlap and should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 41 providers, or 68% of the reported workforce. Men account for nine providers, or 15%, while 10 providers, or 17%, are recorded as nonbinary. Telecare Corporation appears twice among notable organizations, with records spanning case management and community/behavioral health agency taxonomies. The wider registry includes speech-language, counseling, social-work and care-coordination providers alongside ABA-related records, indicating a multidisciplinary behavioral health environment. San Diego’s strong RBT presence but limited BCBA count suggests that expanding supervisory capacity will be important to improving ABA access as local workforce activity continues.
