Missouri recorded 150 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. That share indicates Missouri accounts for a modest portion of nationwide registry activity. The records include 134 individuals and 16 organizations; they reflect registry activity, not confirmed hiring, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA credential mix
The credential summary lists 6 BCBAs and 61 RBTs, plus one provider with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: the dual-credential provider may also be counted among the BCBA and RBT totals, so the figures are not mutually exclusive. The much larger RBT count points to a technician-heavy profile, while the smaller BCBA count signals a comparatively limited pool of potential supervisors. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, adding technicians alone does not establish that supervisory capacity is sufficient. The summary also records 23 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason not to treat classification counts as separate workforce groups.
Demographics and organizations
Women make up 120 providers, or 90%; men account for 14, or 10%; the registry reports no nonbinary providers. These demographics cover the listed provider population, not ABA workers alone. The notable-organizations field is empty, so the update does not identify any organization appearing multiple times. Saint Louis and Kansas City are among the listed leading cities, alongside Poplar Bluff, Springfield and Columbia, suggesting activity across multiple population centers.
Missouri’s registry shows substantial RBT representation but few BCBA records; expanding ABA access will depend on whether supervisory capacity can keep pace with technician participation and demand across the state.
