Georgia recorded 181 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry added 87 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date count to 99. The update includes 150 individuals and 31 organizations. Georgia’s concentration signals a comparatively active behavioral health market in the national registry, although NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary lists 21 BCBA credentials, 44 RBT credentials and 4 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so the figures are not mutually exclusive shares of Georgia’s provider total. The registry’s taxonomy-based text summary reports 6 BCBAs and 8 RBTs, illustrating why credential and taxonomy fields should be read separately rather than combined. Even with that limitation, the larger RBT count relative to BCBA records points to a technician-heavy workforce and a narrower supervisory layer. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, the state’s ability to expand direct ABA services depends on adding enough qualified supervisors to support technician growth. Thirty-eight providers carry multiple taxonomies, another form of overlap that may reflect broader clinical roles.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 121 female providers, 22 male providers and 7 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 81%, 15% and 5% in the registry summary. The listed leading cities are Atlanta, Decatur, Savannah, Lawrenceville and Marietta, indicating activity across the Atlanta region and several outlying markets. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. The broader credential mix includes social workers, counselors and speech-language pathologists alongside ABA professionals.

Georgia’s update suggests growing provider activity but continued pressure to build BCBA supervisory capacity if RBT expansion is to translate into broader ABA access.
