Michigan recorded 469 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 5% of the national weekly total. With 294 new providers added this week, Michigan accounts for a substantial share of current registry activity, signaling a sizable and active behavioral health market.

ABA Workforce Dynamics

The registry lists 17 BCBA credentials and 277 RBT credentials, plus 3 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are included in both credential counts and should not be treated as separate, mutually exclusive groups. The resulting RBT-heavy mix points to a large direct-service workforce relative to the identified BCBA supervisory pool. Because BCBAs design treatment and supervise RBTs, the data suggests that supervisory capacity may be a constraint as Michigan expands ABA delivery. The registry also identifies 58 multi-taxonomy providers, further underscoring that credential and taxonomy counts do not represent distinct provider groups.

Demographics and Organizations

Among individual providers, 349 female providers accounted for 83% of the reported gender breakdown. The registry also lists 51 male providers, or 12%, and 19 nonbinary providers, or 5%. Northern Lakes Community Mental Health Authority appeared 6 times, while Family Medical Center of Michigan, Inc. appeared 4 times, reflecting repeated organizational NPI activity rather than necessarily distinct employers or service sites.

Michigan’s strong weekly activity and RBT-heavy profile suggest expanding ABA access, but the relatively small identified BCBA pool highlights the need for continued supervisor recruitment and credential progression.
