West Virginia has 58 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. That share signals a small concentration of registry activity nationally, though it does not measure workforce size, hiring or appointment availability. The update reports 34 new this week and 38 new this year; 53 records are individuals and five are organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
The credential summary lists 3 BCBAs, 2 RBTs and one provider with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: the dual-credential provider may be included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so they should not be treated as separate, mutually exclusive groups. Even with that caveat, the registry shows few ABA credentials overall and more BCBA than RBT records. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, this small pool points to limited recorded supervision capacity, not necessarily the state’s full ABA workforce. Nine providers have multiple taxonomies, another classification overlap that should not be read as nine additional, distinct workers.
Demographics and Locations
Women account for 34 providers (64%), men 18 (34%) and nonbinary providers one (2%). These figures cover the listed provider population, not just ABA professionals. The data names no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Its leading cities are Summersville, Parkersburg, Charleston, Morgantown and Martinsburg; the five organizations in the registry do not establish the reach of larger employers or service locations.
West Virginia’s update records broad behavioral-health activity but a thin ABA credential presence, suggesting that access may depend on whether the state can recruit and retain enough BCBAs to supervise direct-service staff.
