New Mexico's behavioral health sector added 100 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This group consists of 85 individuals and 15 organizations, with a significant portion of new enrollments concentrated in Albuquerque and Las Cruces.
ABA Credential Mix
The ABA workforce is a key component of this update, with providers identifying as 30 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and 8 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) by credential. This creates a supervision ratio of nearly four RBTs for every one BCBA, suggesting adequate capacity for clinical oversight. It is important to note that some provider counts overlap, as 28 providers in this update listed multiple taxonomies.
Workforce Demographics
Among the individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with 56 women making up 66% of the total. Male providers account for 24%, with the remaining 11% identifying as nonbinary. The strong showing of new RBTs suggests a growing direct-care workforce, which could improve access to ABA services across the state.
