Georgia recorded 157 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 128 individuals and 29 organizations, with 66 providers added this week and 76 added this year. The state’s share signals a substantial presence in the national behavioral health pipeline, although NPI activity reflects registry records rather than confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary lists 24 BCBAs, 32 RBTs and 4 dual-credentialed providers with BCBA and RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual BCBA-RBT records are included in the broader BCBA and RBT counts and should not be treated as separate groups. The RBT count exceeds the BCBA count, pointing to more direct-service technician capacity than supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, that mix may constrain how quickly providers can expand caseloads unless Georgia continues adding clinical supervisors. The registry also reports 34 providers with multiple taxonomies, another indication that classifications can overlap and do not represent mutually exclusive workforce segments.

Demographics and Organizations

Georgia’s registry records 111 female providers, 12 male providers and 5 nonbinary providers. The reported gender breakdown is 87% female, 9% male and 4% nonbinary, showing a strongly female workforce in this weekly snapshot. HealthQwest Frontiers LLC appears three times among notable organizations, suggesting repeated organizational records across locations rather than necessarily three distinct employers. Atlanta, Decatur, Savannah, Alpharetta and Sandy Springs are the leading listed cities, concentrating visible activity around metro Atlanta while also including coastal and other regional markets.

Georgia’s update suggests a broadening ABA workforce with a larger technician pool than BCBA pool, making supervisor recruitment important to improving access and sustaining service growth.
