The Inland Empire recorded 167 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 83 new providers this week, including 159 individuals and 8 organizations. That concentration positions the region as a significant behavioral health workforce hub, although NPI registrations reflect provider enrollment and not necessarily active caseloads or service capacity.
ABA Credential Mix
The credential data includes 17 BCBAs and 73 RBTs, with 3 dual credentials reported. The categories overlap: providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials are counted in each relevant category, so these figures should not be added as mutually exclusive groups. The resulting mix is heavily weighted toward direct-care technicians, while the smaller BCBA pool represents the supervisory layer required to oversee RBT services. The registry also reports 36 multi-taxonomy providers, indicating that some practitioners are registered across more than one professional classification.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 118 practitioners, or 74% of the reported workforce. The registry lists 28 male practitioners, or 18%, and 13 nonbinary practitioners, or 8%. No organization appeared multiple times as a notable employer in this update. Riverside leads the area's city counts with 36 providers, followed by Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga with 16 each, San Bernardino with 10, and Victorville with 8.
The update points to expanding ABA and broader behavioral health access, but the comparatively smaller BCBA pool may remain a constraint on supervision capacity as RBT registrations grow.
