Colorado recorded 383 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, representing 4% of the national weekly total. The update includes 216 new providers this week and 236 new providers this year, comprising 310 individuals and 73 organizations. That share places Colorado among the more active state markets in the weekly registry and signals a sizable, continuing behavioral health infrastructure. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry reports 14 BCBA credentials, 91 RBT credentials and one dual BCBA-RBT credential. These categories overlap: the dual credential is included in the BCBA and RBT counts, and credential fields can differ from taxonomy fields. The summary’s credential-text field lists 7 RBT entries, so the figures should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of Colorado’s provider total. Even with that limitation, the data shows a technician-heavy ABA profile relative to documented BCBA capacity. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, the imbalance suggests that supervisory capacity could constrain how quickly technician growth becomes expanded service access. The registry also includes LPC, LCSW and LPCC professionals, underscoring that the update covers behavioral health broadly, not ABA alone.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 227 female providers, 73 male providers and 10 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 73%, 24% and 3%. The update is concentrated in Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Aurora and Lakewood. Marathon Health, LLC appears 11 times, while Elephant in the Room LLC and Joni Handran LLC each appear 5 times. The 73 multi-taxonomy providers further demonstrate why registry categories should not be read as distinct workforce pools.
Colorado’s update points to broad provider expansion but a need to grow BCBA supervision alongside the state’s substantial RBT workforce to improve ABA access.
