Columbus recorded 42 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 21 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date total to 24 new registrations. The count includes 38 individuals and 4 organizations, indicating a concentrated but relatively small local registry footprint within the broader national behavioral health market.
ABA Credential Mix
Columbus reported 0 BCBA providers and 3 RBT providers, with no providers listed as holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. Because the credential fields and taxonomy fields can overlap, these categories should not be treated as mutually exclusive measures of the entire workforce. The absence of registered BCBAs alongside three RBTs points to limited documented ABA supervision capacity in this update, although the registry may not capture every practitioner’s current credential information. The broader group includes social workers, addiction counselors, speech-language pathologists, counselors and case managers, while 9 providers reported multiple taxonomies.
Workforce Demographics
The individual workforce was predominantly female: 35 practitioners, or 92%, were listed as female. Male practitioners totaled 3 providers, or 8%; no nonbinary providers were reported. No organization appeared multiple times in the update, and the data does not identify a dominant multi-state ABA employer in Columbus. The registry’s mix of direct-care, care-coordination and allied behavioral health roles suggests that recent activity is broader than ABA alone and may support cross-disciplinary service access.
Columbus’s latest registrations suggest expanding behavioral health activity, but the limited BCBA presence could constrain ABA supervision capacity as RBT participation grows.
