Minnesota recorded 158 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The file lists 81 providers added this week and 92 added this year, including 139 individuals and 19 organizations. That concentration signals a meaningful share of weekly registry activity, but NPI records track enrollment and updates—not confirmed hiring, staffing levels, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 2 BCBAs and 58 RBTs, with no providers reported as holding both credentials. That works out to 29 RBTs for each BCBA in the summary, a pronounced imbalance that may constrain supervision capacity if the records reflect active ABA staffing. BCBAs supervise RBTs, so technician growth does not by itself establish how much direct service the workforce can support. The counts also should not be read as a complete census: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and 26 providers have multiple taxonomies. The list includes other behavioral health professionals, including counselors, social workers and psychologists, but those credentials do not establish ABA supervisory capacity.
Demographics and Organizations
Women account for 103 providers (74%), men for 24 (17%) and nonbinary providers for 12 (9%). These figures describe the individuals represented in the update, not necessarily the entire state workforce. No notable organizations were identified as appearing multiple times. Minneapolis, Rochester, Saint Paul, Woodbury and Moorhead are among the listed leading cities, indicating activity across several urban centers as well as communities beyond the Twin Cities.
The update points to substantial RBT representation but few listed BCBAs, making growth in supervisory capacity a key consideration for expanding Minnesota’s ABA access.
