Wyoming's latest CMS NPI registry update shows 11 total behavioral health providers, with 4 new additions this week. This represents a 0% share of the national weekly total, indicating a very limited influx of new providers in the state's behavioral health sector. Given Wyoming's sparse population, even small numbers can be significant, but this week's data points to minimal growth.
Workforce Composition and ABA Capacity
This week's data for Wyoming reveals no new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). The listed credentials include 1 PCSW (Provisional Clinical Social Worker), 2 LCSWs (Licensed Clinical Social Workers), and one provider with "CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK" listed. This absence of ABA-specific credentials suggests that the recent growth in Wyoming's behavioral health workforce, as captured in this update, does not directly contribute to the state's capacity for applied behavior analysis services, impacting the availability of supervision and direct care for individuals needing ABA.
Provider Demographics
The individual providers in this update are exclusively female, with 8 individuals accounting for 100% of the individual provider demographic. There were no male or nonbinary individual providers listed. Among the 3 organizations added, none appeared multiple times in the registry, suggesting no single large entity, such as a multi-state ABA chain, is driving this week's growth.
This data suggests a continued challenge for ABA access in Wyoming, as the recent additions to the behavioral health workforce do not include professionals specifically trained or credentialed in applied behavior analysis.
