West Virginia recorded 43 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, including 17 new providers this week. The state’s reported share of the national weekly total was 0%, indicating that West Virginia represents a very small portion of nationwide registry activity. The registry included 41 individuals and 2 organizations, suggesting that the update was driven primarily by individual practitioners rather than large provider entities.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry identified 0 BCBAs and 3 RBTs; no providers were listed with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These credential counts overlap with broader taxonomy and credential categories and should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of all providers. The absence of BCBAs alongside three RBT listings points to limited visible supervisory capacity in this snapshot. Because BCBAs design treatment plans and supervise RBTs, an RBT presence without a corresponding BCBA listing may reflect external supervision, incomplete credential reporting, or a small and developing ABA workforce.
Workforce Demographics
Among the listed providers, 33 female providers represented 80% of the reported gender breakdown. The registry also listed 7 male providers, or 17%, and 1 nonbinary provider, or 2%. These gender figures do not total all 43 providers, so the breakdown should be read as reported demographic data rather than a complete classification of every record. No notable organization appeared multiple times in the update. Princeton, Wheeling, Weirton, Huntington and Beckley were among the top cities represented.
West Virginia’s small, mostly individual provider base and limited visible ABA supervision suggest that expanding access may depend on attracting BCBAs and building RBT career pathways across the state.
