New Mexico recorded 100 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update includes 48 providers added this week and 56 added this year, with 78 individuals and 22 organizations. New Mexico’s modest national share signals a smaller but active behavioral health market, with registry activity spread across Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and Roswell rather than concentrated in a single city. NPI records indicate provider enrollment, not confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 5 BCBAs and 30 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and one provider can appear in more than one classification. The data also includes an organization with a BCBA taxonomy and an individual whose credential is “MS, BCBA,” so the fields should not be read as a definitive headcount of practicing clinicians. Even with that limitation, the roughly six-to-one RBT-to-BCBA relationship points to a technician-heavy ABA workforce. RBT capacity can expand direct services, but a small BCBA pool may constrain supervision, treatment-plan development and quality monitoring. The registry reports 21 multi-taxonomy providers, reinforcing the need for caution when interpreting role counts.
Demographics and Organizations
Among the listed providers, 59 are female, 13 are male and 6 are nonbinary, corresponding to 76%, 17% and 8%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update, although organizations account for 22 records overall. The absence of repeated named organizations provides no clear registry signal of a dominant employer in this snapshot.
New Mexico’s update suggests growing, geographically dispersed behavioral health activity, but ABA access may depend on expanding BCBA supervision capacity alongside its larger RBT workforce.
