Idaho recorded 65 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 22 new providers this week, bringing the year-to-date addition to 28 providers. Idaho’s small national share, despite a notable burst of weekly activity, signals a modest statewide provider base with growth concentrated in a limited number of markets.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry identifies 3 BCBA credentials and 5 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These categories are not mutually exclusive: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and the 65-provider total includes professionals outside ABA, including counselors, social workers and speech-language pathologists. Even so, the RBT count exceeding the BCBA count points to more direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs, develop treatment plans and guide clinical quality, the mix suggests that supervision could constrain ABA expansion if the RBT workforce grows faster than the BCBA pool.
Demographics and Provider Activity
Idaho’s registry includes 47 individuals and 18 organizations. Among the individual-provider records with gender data, 36 are female, or 77%, and 11 are male, or 23%; no nonbinary providers are reported. The gender counts align with the individual count, while the broader registry total also includes organizations. Boise, Coeur d’Alene, Meridian, Saint Anthony and Twin Falls are listed as the leading cities.
The notable-organizations field identifies no organization appearing multiple times. Activity across individual clinicians and smaller organizations, rather than a named multi-state ABA chain, suggests Idaho’s near-term ABA access gains may depend on local hiring and building supervisory capacity outside the state’s main population centers.
