Georgia recorded 203 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The state added 108 new providers this week, more than the 117 providers recorded so far this year. Individuals account for 169 entries and organizations for 34. That concentration places Georgia among the more active state markets in the update and signals sustained behavioral health expansion, although NPI activity does not by itself confirm clinical availability, hiring or service volume.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 26 BCBA credentials, 59 RBT credentials and 3 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of the 203-provider total: a provider may hold multiple credentials, and taxonomy and credential fields may describe the same person differently. The RBT count is more than twice the BCBA count, pointing to a larger direct-service workforce than supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs, design treatment plans and monitor care, that imbalance can limit how quickly Georgia clinics convert technician recruitment into billable, supervised ABA capacity. The dual-credential entries suggest some practitioners are progressing between direct-service and advanced clinical roles.

Demographics and Activity

Among individual providers, 139 are female, 23 are male and 7 are nonbinary, corresponding to 82%, 14% and 4%. The registry’s leading cities are Atlanta, Decatur, Savannah, Columbus and Roswell. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Still, 41 providers carry multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that the registry reflects overlapping professional identities rather than a clean headcount by service line.

Georgia’s expanding RBT base suggests broader ABA access potential, but the smaller BCBA pool makes supervisory capacity a key workforce constraint.
