Vermont added 9 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS NPI registry update. This represents 0% of the national total for the week, indicating a minimal contribution to the broader national expansion of behavioral health professionals. Of these, 7 are individual providers and 2 are organizations.
Behavioral Health Credential Mix
The latest additions to Vermont's provider pool do not include any Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), with 0 BCBAs and 0 RBTs reported. There are also no individuals holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials. The data indicates 1 individual with an MA credential, while other new providers are listed under taxonomies such as Clinical Social Worker, Mental Health Counselor, and Acupuncturist. This suggests that this week's new providers are primarily expanding general mental health and allied health services, rather than directly impacting the ABA workforce.
Provider Demographics
Among the 7 individual providers, the demographic data shows a workforce composed entirely of women, with 7 female providers accounting for 100% of the individual additions. There were no male or nonbinary providers added this week. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data.
Given the absence of new BCBA or RBT credentials, this week's data suggests no immediate growth in Vermont's direct ABA service capacity.
