North Dakota recorded 24 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 14 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date count to 18. The update includes 20 individuals and 4 organizations. The zero-percent share signals that North Dakota remains a very small part of national weekly NPI activity; locally, however, a concentrated burst of registrations can still affect how the state’s behavioral health workforce appears to be changing. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry lists 0 BCBA credentials, 1 RBT credential and 0 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The credential summary and taxonomy fields can overlap, so these categories should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of the provider total. With one RBT and no documented BCBA, the update shows no recorded ABA supervisory capacity in this weekly snapshot. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and oversee clinical quality, that imbalance can constrain the expansion of technician-delivered services. The broader credential set includes counselors, case managers, social workers, addiction professionals and speech-language pathologists, showing that the registry captures behavioral health activity well beyond ABA.
Demographics and Organizations
Among records assigned a gender, 16 providers are female, 2 are male and 2 are nonbinary, corresponding to 80%, 10% and 10%. Four of the 24 records are organizations, and no notable organization appears multiple times. Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks, West Fargo and Devils Lake are the listed leading cities. Six providers carry multiple taxonomies; that overlap reflects broader service roles rather than six additional providers.
North Dakota’s update suggests limited documented ABA depth and a dispersed, multidisciplinary workforce, making BCBA recruitment important for improving access and supervision capacity.
