Los Angeles recorded 78 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 39 new providers this week and 41 new registrations this year. With 72 individuals and 6 organizations, the update points to active provider registration in a large, diverse behavioral health market, although NPI activity does not establish that every listed provider is accepting clients.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies no BCBA providers and 32 RBT providers; it also records no providers with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. That produces a direct-care-heavy ABA profile with no documented BCBA supervisory layer in this extract. The absence of BCBA records may reflect credential or taxonomy reporting rather than a complete picture of clinical leadership, but it signals that NPI data alone cannot measure supervision capacity. The registry also reports 25 multi-taxonomy providers. Taxonomy and credential categories can overlap, so these counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce segments.
Workforce Demographics
Reported gender data includes 39 female providers, or 54%; 13 male providers, or 18%; and 20 nonbinary providers, or 28%. The update lists no notable organizations appearing multiple times, so it provides no clear evidence of concentration under a single employer or behavioral health chain. The six organizations span clinical social work, care coordination, psychology, day training and habilitation, and clinic services, indicating activity beyond ABA alone.
Los Angeles’s registrations suggest expanding behavioral health activity and a sizable RBT pipeline, but the lack of recorded BCBAs underscores the need to examine supervisory supply separately when assessing future ABA access.
