Los Angeles recorded 99 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 49 providers new this week and 52 new this year; 92 are individuals and 7 are organizations. The concentration points to substantial provider activity in the city, but NPI records do not establish whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients or delivering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 6 BCBA providers and 46 RBT providers, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. The counts are credential categories, not a complete or mutually exclusive accounting of the workforce: providers may have multiple taxonomies, and the update lists 31 with more than one. The much larger RBT count suggests a broad listed direct-care workforce relative to the BCBA pool. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, that imbalance may limit supervision capacity if the records reflect active local staffing; the registry does not show current caseloads or job duties.
Workforce Demographics
The gender breakdown lists 48 women (52%), 12 men (13%) and 32 nonbinary providers (35%). These figures total 92, matching the individual-provider count, while the overall total also includes organizations. The supplied notable-organizations list is empty, so it does not identify any organization appearing multiple times. Los Angeles’s large RBT count alongside a smaller BCBA group suggests ABA access may depend on whether supervisory capacity grows with the direct-care workforce.
