Vermont registered 12 new behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI update, accounting for 0% of the national weekly total. This indicates a very limited contribution to the national growth in behavioral health professionals for this specific period, suggesting a smaller or less active market for new enrollments compared to other states.
ABA Workforce Composition
For BCBAs, RBTs, and ABA clinic operators, this week's update for Vermont shows 0 Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and 0 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) among the new enrollments. This also means there were no individuals identified with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. The new individual and organizational providers primarily list taxonomies such as Mental Health Counselor, Clinical Social Worker, and Addiction Counselor, indicating that the current growth in Vermont's behavioral health sector is not directly expanding the ABA workforce.
Provider Demographics
Of the 12 new providers, 7 are individuals and 5 are organizations. Among the individual providers, women constitute the majority, accounting for 71% (5 individuals), while men make up 29% (2 individuals). No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update, suggesting diverse, smaller-scale entries into the market.
This week's data indicates that while Vermont is seeing some growth in its broader behavioral health landscape, there is no direct expansion of the ABA workforce, which could impact access to ABA services in the state.
