Wyoming added 14 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. While this indicates a very small fraction of national growth, 9 of these were new this week, signaling recent activity within the state. The additions comprise 12 individual providers and 2 organizations.
ABA Workforce Composition
The data reveals a critical gap in Wyoming's Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) workforce, with 0 BCBA credentials reported. In contrast, there are 3 RBT credentials. This complete absence of BCBAs presents a significant challenge for ABA clinic operators, as RBTs require direct supervision from BCBAs to deliver services. Without adequate BCBA supervision, the capacity for RBTs to practice and for clinics to offer comprehensive ABA therapy is severely constrained. There were also no dual BCBA+RBT credentials.
Provider Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Wyoming is predominantly female, with 10 individuals (83%) identifying as female. Additionally, 1 individual (8%) is male and 1 individual (8%) is nonbinary. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update, suggesting a landscape of smaller practices or new entries rather than expansion from larger multi-state chains.
This data underscores a pressing need for increased BCBA recruitment and development in Wyoming to support its RBT workforce and enhance access to essential ABA services across the state.
