Michigan recorded 605 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 6% of the national weekly total. The registry added 365 new providers this week, including 567 individuals and 38 organizations. That concentration makes Michigan one of the more active states in the update, signaling a sizable and expanding behavioral health provider base. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability, however.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary lists 22 BCBAs and 275 RBTs, including 6 dual credentials identified as BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers can appear in both counts, and credential fields do not represent mutually exclusive shares of the 605-provider total. The ratio still points to a technician-heavy ABA workforce, with substantially more RBT-level capacity than documented BCBA supervision. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning and clinical quality, growth in technician records will require corresponding supervisory capacity to translate into expanded services. The registry also includes a broad mix of social work, counseling and speech-language credentials.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 465 female providers, 68 male providers and 34 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 82%, 12% and 6%. These counts do not cover all 605 records, so the gender fields appear incomplete. Farmington Hills, Grand Rapids, Southfield, Ann Arbor and Detroit are the leading listed cities. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. The registry reports 77 providers with multiple taxonomies; those classifications overlap and should not be read as 77 additional providers.

Michigan’s update suggests strong technician growth, but expanding ABA access will depend on recruiting and retaining enough BCBAs to supervise that workforce across the state.
