Maryland recorded 208 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 2% of the national weekly total. With 108 new providers this week, Maryland represents a concentrated share of recent behavioral health activity, signaling continued provider onboarding and organizational expansion in the state.

ABA Workforce Dynamics

The registry lists 19 BCBA credentials and 76 RBT credentials, along with 5 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so they should not be added as a separate workforce pool. The RBT-to-BCBA balance points to a sizable direct-service workforce relative to the available behavior-analytic supervisors. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning, that pattern may create pressure for supervisory capacity as Maryland’s ABA workforce grows.

Demographics and Organizations

Of the 165 individuals in the update, 130 were female, 22 male and 13 nonbinary. The registry also includes 43 organizations, reflecting a mix of individual practitioners and agency-based service delivery. Lawren Healthcare Services, Global Center for Autism Services LLC and Fountain Health Care LLC each appeared 3 times; Henry Recovery House and Mental Health Therapy LLC appeared 2 times. Repeated entries may reflect multiple NPIs or taxonomies rather than distinct employers or locations.

Maryland’s strong RBT presence alongside a smaller BCBA pool suggests expanding ABA capacity, but access will depend on whether supervisory infrastructure grows with the direct-service workforce.
