Minnesota recorded 171 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The update includes 105 new providers this week, with 119 added this year. Minnesota’s registry activity is concentrated among 153 individuals and 18 organizations. A 2% national share signals a meaningful but not dominant behavioral health market, with provider growth broad enough to affect recruiting, contracting and service availability across the state.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry identifies 5 BCBA credentials and 57 RBT credentials, along with 1 dual BCBA-RBT credential. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares of Minnesota’s provider total: credential fields and taxonomy fields can describe the same provider, and one provider may hold more than one credential. The large difference between RBT and BCBA counts points to a workforce weighted toward direct implementation rather than clinical supervision. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, oversee treatment plans and monitor care quality, limited BCBA representation could constrain how quickly Minnesota converts RBT growth into additional supervised ABA capacity. The dual credential suggests at least some progression between direct-service and advanced behavior-analytic roles.

Demographics and Provider Activity

Among individual providers, 115 are female, 25 are male and 13 are nonbinary, corresponding to 75%, 16% and 8%. The counts sum to 153, matching the registry’s individual-provider total. Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Woodbury and Saint Cloud are the leading listed cities, while activity also reaches communities including Duluth, Moorhead, Mankato and Bemidji. The update lists no notable organizations appearing multiple times.

Minnesota’s expanding RBT presence suggests growing ABA workforce capacity, but the smaller BCBA pool may make supervision availability the key factor shaping access.
