Indiana recorded 155 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 98 providers this week, bringing the year-to-date count to 102. Individuals account for 141 entries and organizations for 14. Indiana’s modest national share points to a smaller but active behavioral health market, with new NPI activity potentially affecting hiring, contracting and service availability. NPI records do not confirm active caseloads, open appointments or whether a provider is currently accepting patients.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential data lists 15 BCBA credentials, 76 RBT credentials and 5 dual credentials held by providers identified as both BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of the 155-provider total; credential and taxonomy fields may describe the same person differently. The large gap between RBTs and BCBAs indicates a workforce weighted toward direct-service technicians, with fewer credentialed supervisors available to oversee treatment delivery, train staff and monitor clinical quality. The dual-credential count is notable within the BCBA group, suggesting some movement between technician and supervisory roles, although it remains a small part of the overall registry.
Demographics and Organizations
Among providers with reported gender data, 106 are female, 14 are male and 21 are nonbinary, corresponding to 75%, 10% and 15%. The activity is geographically dispersed, with Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Carmel, Lafayette and Bloomington among the leading cities. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Eighteen providers have multiple taxonomies, another reason registry categories should not be treated as distinct workforce segments.
Indiana’s strong RBT presence alongside a smaller BCBA pool suggests expanding direct-service capacity, but supervision availability may remain the key constraint on broader ABA access.
