Las Vegas's behavioral health sector registered 48 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 24 new providers added this week. This weekly influx also accounts for all new registrations this year in the area, representing 0% of the national weekly total, which indicates a localized rather than widespread national impact from these additions. The total includes 31 individual practitioners and 17 organizations, signaling consistent growth in the regional workforce.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 7 BCBA providers and 18 RBT providers. It is important to note that 3 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, meaning they are counted in both categories. This dual credentialing often signifies career progression from direct care to a supervisory role, enhancing the local talent pool. The overall ratio of BCBAs to RBTs, approximately 1 BCBA for every 2.6 RBTs, suggests a manageable supervision capacity within the ABA workforce, which is crucial for maintaining service quality and RBT development.

Notably, CENTER FOR COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES, INC appeared 7 times in the registry, suggesting a significant operational footprint or diverse service offerings under a single entity within the local organizational landscape.
