Oregon recorded 201 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry added 83 new providers this week, including 175 individuals and 26 organizations. Oregon’s share signals a meaningful, active behavioral health market in the national registry, although NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability. The large weekly influx also appears to reflect broad behavioral health activity rather than ABA-specific expansion.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry reports no BCBA credentials, no dual BCBA-RBT credentials and 11 RBT credentials. That mix points to no documented BCBA supervisory capacity in this update, despite a technician-level presence. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, the absence of recorded BCBAs could constrain how those RBTs translate into expanded ABA services. Credential categories overlap with taxonomy fields and should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of the provider total. The broader mix is led by LCSW and LPC credentials, each appearing 11 and 9 times respectively, alongside QMHA, counseling, social work, speech-language and substance-use credentials.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 134 female providers, 39 male providers and 2 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 77%, 22% and 1%. The listed leading cities are Portland, Eugene, Beaverton, Salem and Bend, indicating activity across major population centers and regional hubs. Rehab Specialists Outpatient appears repeatedly under two name variations: “REHAB SPECIALISTS OUTPATIENT, LLC” appears 9 times and “REHAB SPECIALISTS OUTPATIENT LLC” appears 2 times. Those entries may represent formatting variations of one organization, so they should not automatically be treated as separate operators. The registry lists 59 providers with multiple taxonomies, another overlap that may reflect cross-disciplinary roles.
Oregon’s update suggests broad behavioral health growth but limited documented ABA supervisory depth, making BCBA recruitment important for converting RBT availability into reliable access.
