Tampa's behavioral health sector registered 37 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. These new registrations represent 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a localized but active growth in the area. The new additions include 31 individual practitioners and 6 organizations, reflecting a mix of independent professionals and expanding service entities.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the individual providers, the data highlights a specific mix of Applied Behavior Analysis professionals. There are 3 BCBAs and 15 RBTs reported by credential. The absence of dual BCBA+RBT credentials among these new registrations suggests that these are either new entries to the field at specific credential levels or individuals not yet pursuing dual certification. The ratio of one BCBA for every five RBTs indicates a potential for high RBT caseloads per supervisor, which could impact supervision capacity and service delivery models. Additionally, 8 providers hold multiple taxonomies, suggesting a broader scope of practice for a portion of the workforce.
Demographic Insights
The individual provider workforce in Tampa is predominantly female, with 29 female providers accounting for 94% of the total, while 2 male providers make up 6%. No specific organizations were noted as appearing multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse market rather than one dominated by a few large chains. This data points to a growing, albeit supervisor-heavy, ABA workforce in Tampa, which is crucial for expanding access to care.
