Charlotte recorded 35 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, listed as 0% of the national weekly total. The city’s reported share is therefore zero at the registry’s displayed precision, not evidence that no providers were added. The update includes 13 new providers this week and 14 this year. Its 29 individuals and six organizations indicate a mix of clinician registrations and provider entities, though NPI records do not confirm active practice or patient availability.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry lists 3 BCBA credentials and 7 RBT credentials, plus 2 dual credentials. The dual-credential count overlaps the BCBA and RBT counts, so these are not mutually exclusive groups and should not be added to calculate a workforce total. The larger RBT count points to more listed direct-care credentials than BCBA credentials, while the smaller BCBA pool may constrain capacity for supervision, assessment and treatment planning. The registry also reports 12 providers with multiple taxonomies; those classifications can overlap as well.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 21 listed providers, or 72%; men account for six, or 21%, and nonbinary providers account for two, or 7%. The data identifies no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Among six organizations in the city’s count, the supplied records include UNC at Charlotte, Quest Provider Services LLC and Echelon Consulting Inc., but do not establish repeated registrations for any one organization. Overall, Charlotte’s update shows more RBT than BCBA credentials, suggesting that growth in direct-care listings may not by itself expand the supervisory capacity needed to support ABA access.
