North Carolina recorded 362 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The update includes 284 individuals and 78 organizations, with 153 providers added this week and 194 recorded this year. That national share places North Carolina among the more active state markets in the registry and signals a sizable, expanding behavioral health infrastructure. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry reports 23 BCBAs and 71 RBTs, along with 5 dual credentials listing both BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed professionals are included in the BCBA and RBT counts, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of the provider total. The larger RBT pool points to substantial technician-level capacity, but the smaller BCBA pool remains the key constraint for supervision, treatment planning and clinical oversight. In practice, expanding RBT staffing without comparable growth in BCBAs can limit how quickly clinics convert workforce growth into billable, supervised services.

Demographics and Organizations

Women account for 244 providers, or 86%, compared with 33 men, or 12%, and 7 nonbinary providers, or 2%. The gender summary does not assign a category to every provider record. The update’s listed leading cities are Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Greensboro and Fayetteville, indicating activity across major urban centers and regional markets. North Carolina Rural Health Clinic PC appears twice in the notable-organization records, both in Locust. The registry also identifies 92 providers with multiple taxonomies; those overlapping classifications should not be read as additional providers or mutually exclusive workforce segments.

North Carolina’s update suggests growing ABA participation, but access will depend on adding BCBA supervisory capacity alongside the much larger RBT workforce.
