Iowa has 60 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. With 29 new providers added this week, the state accounts for a small share of national activity but shows a concentrated burst of registry growth. The list includes 44 individuals and 16 organizations, indicating expansion through both workforce enrollment and provider entities.
ABA Workforce Mix
The ABA-specific counts show 1 BCBA and 12 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These credential categories are not a complete classification of all providers, and the counts should not be treated as shares of the total provider population. Still, the imbalance is operationally significant: RBTs deliver direct services under BCBA supervision, while the registry shows only one BCBA credential in this update. That pattern points to limited documented supervisory capacity relative to the RBT additions, unless other BCBAs are already active in Iowa but absent from this weekly update.
Workforce Profile
Among the providers with reported gender data, 33 female providers accounted for 75%, compared with 7 male providers at 16% and 4 nonbinary providers at 9%. Credential reporting also spans broader behavioral health disciplines, including 4 LISW credentials and 3 LMSW credentials. The registry identifies no notable organization appearing multiple times; however, 14 providers have multiple taxonomies, so taxonomy categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive.
The update suggests Iowa’s ABA pipeline is adding RBT capacity faster than documented BCBA supervision, while broader behavioral health enrollment remains distributed across individual practitioners and organizations.
