Wisconsin recorded 234 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry identifies 175 new providers this week, including 223 individuals and 11 organizations. That activity places Wisconsin among states with a meaningful flow of behavioral health registrations, although NPI records do not confirm active caseloads, hiring plans or open appointment capacity. The mix also spans ABA, counseling, social work and speech-language services, making the update broader than the ABA workforce alone.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential data lists 4 BCBA credentials, 13 RBT credentials and 1 dual BCBA-RBT credential. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of the provider total: a provider may appear in more than one credential category, and taxonomy and credential fields may describe the same person differently. The RBT count is more than three times the BCBA count, pointing to a workforce weighted toward direct implementation rather than clinical supervision. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor outcomes, the small BCBA pool could limit how quickly Wisconsin converts technician growth into expanded ABA capacity. The dual credential is notable because it signals progression across the technician and supervisor pipeline, but it remains limited in this update.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 195 female providers, 21 male providers and 7 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 87%, 9% and 3%. Milwaukee, Appleton, Madison, La Crosse and Eau Claire are the leading listed cities, suggesting activity across major urban centers and regional hubs. Bellin Memorial Hospital Inc. appears 3 times in the organization records. Repeated organizational NPIs represent registry activity and should not be read as equivalent clinical sites or service capacity.

Wisconsin’s RBT-heavy ABA profile suggests potential workforce growth, but limited BCBA representation may remain a key constraint on access and supervision.
