San Diego has 77 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry records 50 new providers this week and 53 this year; 74 are individuals and 3 are organizations. That concentration marks a sizable local presence in the weekly additions, although NPI listings alone do not show whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients or delivering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The data lists 3 BCBA providers and 30 RBT providers, with no dual BCBA-and-RBT credentials. The counts are distinct in this case, but the overall registry includes providers with multiple taxonomies, so classifications should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares. The much larger RBT count points to a workforce weighted toward direct-care roles, while the smaller BCBA pool may constrain capacity for assessment, treatment planning and supervision. Registry counts do not establish providers’ current job duties or availability.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 53 listed providers (72%), men for 10 (14%) and nonbinary providers for 11 (15%). The percentages total more than 100% because of rounding. The data does not identify any notable organization appearing multiple times; three organizations are listed overall. The provider mix also includes behavioral health professionals beyond ABA, so the full city total should not be read as an ABA workforce count. Taken together, the figures suggest substantial direct-care activity in San Diego, with BCBA supervisory capacity a potential factor in how readily ABA services can expand.
