Mississippi recorded 47 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 17 new providers this week and 23 added this year, including 40 individuals and 7 organizations. That relatively small national share points to a limited but active provider pipeline; NPI activity reflects registry records, however, rather than confirmed staffing levels, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary reports 1 BCBA, 4 RBTs and no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories should be read cautiously because credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, although the zero dual-credential count means no additional dual category is reported here. The four-to-one RBT-to-BCBA ratio suggests more documented technician capacity than supervisory capacity. In ABA operations, that imbalance can constrain service growth because BCBAs supervise RBTs, oversee treatment plans and monitor clinical quality. The broader registry also includes 10 providers with multiple taxonomies, so the credential groups do not represent mutually exclusive portions of the full provider count.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 34 female providers, 5 male providers and 1 nonbinary provider—85%, 13% and 3%, respectively. No organization appears multiple times among the notable organizations, and the data does not identify a repeated large employer in this weekly snapshot. Columbus, Jackson, Hattiesburg, Flowood and Tupelo are the listed leading cities, indicating activity across several Mississippi markets rather than a single documented center of concentration.
Mississippi’s update suggests a small, female-dominated behavioral health workforce with limited documented BCBA supervision capacity, a pattern that could restrict ABA access unless supervisory recruitment keeps pace with technician growth.
