South Florida recorded 274 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The registry does not provide the underlying national provider count. It lists 123 new providers this week and 139 new providers this year, including 227 individuals and 47 organizations. That concentration underscores South Florida’s role as a major behavioral health market, although NPI registrations include clinicians and entities and do not directly measure active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.

ABA Credential Mix

The update identifies 53 BCBAs and 152 RBTs. These categories overlap: 19 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are counted in each total. They should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce groups. The RBT-heavy mix points to substantial direct-care capacity, while the smaller BCBA group indicates a tighter supervisory layer. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, that imbalance can limit how quickly clinics add cases unless supervisors carry larger teams or the market continues developing advanced practitioners. The registry also reports 67 providers with multiple taxonomies, further showing that credential and taxonomy counts can overlap.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 190 providers, or 84% of the reported workforce. Men account for 34 providers, or 15%, and nonbinary providers account for 3 providers, or 1%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Miami leads the listed cities with 96 providers, followed by Hialeah with 17 providers and Stuart with 16 providers; Weston and Coral Gables report 12 providers and 10 providers, respectively. The data suggests growing ABA access alongside continued demand for BCBA supervisory capacity across South Florida.
