North Dakota recorded 21 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The update includes 7 new providers this week and 11 added this year, with 17 individuals and 4 organizations. The state’s zero-rounded share indicates limited activity compared with the national weekly registry, while the new-record count shows continued, if modest, provider entry. NPI activity reflects registry participation rather than confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 1 BCBA, 3 RBTs and 0 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive with other registry fields: credential and taxonomy records can describe the same provider, and the broader “other” field includes 1 provider listed as BCBA, LPCC. The data therefore does not show a dual-credential career pipeline, while the three-to-one RBT-to-BCBA relationship points to a small technician base supported by limited documented supervisory capacity. Nine providers carry multiple taxonomies, further showing that registry classifications can overlap and should not be treated as separate workforce shares.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 13 female providers, 4 male providers and 0 nonbinary providers, or 76%, 24% and 0%, respectively. The registry includes four organizations, but none appears multiple times in the notable-organization field. Fargo, Bismarck, West Fargo, Jamestown and Minot are the leading listed cities, indicating activity across several population centers rather than a single location.
North Dakota’s update suggests a small, geographically distributed behavioral health workforce with limited documented ABA supervision capacity, making BCBA recruitment important for expanding access as RBT participation grows.
