Las Vegas's behavioral health sector registered 43 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. This concentration signals consistent activity in the country's behavioral health workforce. Of these, 24 new providers registered this week, contributing to 26 new registrations this year. The total includes 34 individual practitioners and 9 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 4 BCBA providers and 20 RBT providers. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, as 7 providers hold multiple taxonomies, indicating diverse practice areas beyond a single credential. There were no dual-credentialed BCBA+RBT providers in this update. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a lean supervisory capacity, which is a common challenge in the ABA field, potentially impacting service scalability and quality assurance for direct care staff.
Workforce Demographics and Trends
The individual provider workforce in Las Vegas is predominantly female, with 24 female providers accounting for 71% of the total. 6 male providers constitute 18%, and 4 nonbinary providers make up 12%. "THERE IS NO HERO IN HEROIN (TINHIH)" appeared twice in the registry, suggesting its significant presence in the local behavioral health landscape. The consistent influx of new providers, particularly RBTs, points to an expanding workforce, but the limited number of BCBAs highlights a potential bottleneck for ABA service access and growth in Las Vegas.
