Idaho recorded 92 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, with 60 new additions this week. This activity represents 1% of the national total, indicating a smaller but actively growing behavioral health market within the state.

ABA Workforce Composition

Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows 1 BCBA credential and 8 RBT credentials. It is important to note that one individual holds both BCBA and RBT credentials, a pattern often signaling career progression from direct service to supervisory roles. This ratio of 1 BCBA to 8 RBTs highlights a significant need for more BCBA-level supervisors to support direct service providers and expand ABA access effectively across the state.

Provider Demographics and Geographic Trends

Of the 80 individual providers, 50 are female (63%), 29 are male (36%), and 1 identifies as nonbinary (1%). This gender distribution aligns with broader trends in the behavioral health field. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's registrations. New providers are concentrated in major population centers, with Boise, Meridian, and Coeur d'Alene among the top cities for new enrollments.

The current workforce data suggests that Idaho's ABA market is still developing, with a critical need to cultivate more BCBA-level professionals to ensure adequate supervision and expand access to essential ABA services.
