Wyoming added 18 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. This represents 0% of the national total, a negligible share reflecting the state's smaller population and workforce compared to larger states. Of these, 8 providers were new this week, contributing to the 16 individual providers and 2 organizations registered.
Credential Mix and ABA Workforce
Crucially for the ABA industry, this week's data shows no new BCBA or RBT credentials registered in Wyoming. This means the additions do not directly enhance the state's capacity for applied behavior analysis supervision or direct service delivery. Instead, the new individual providers primarily hold other mental health credentials, including 3 LPCs, one M.ED K-12SPED, M.DIV, one MC PCC, and one PPC. The absence of new BCBA registrations means no immediate increase in the supervisory pipeline essential for RBTs and expanding ABA services.
Provider Demographics
Of the 16 individual providers, the workforce leans heavily female, with 14 individuals (88%) identifying as female and 2 individuals (13%) as male. This gender distribution is consistent with broader trends in the behavioral health sector. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's registrations.
Overall, this week's NPI data for Wyoming points to growth in general mental health and counseling services, but highlights a static week for the state's ABA-specific workforce, suggesting no immediate expansion in ABA access from these new registrations.
