Nevada saw the addition of 83 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 1% of the national total. This steady influx of new providers suggests consistent growth in the state's behavioral health sector, reflecting ongoing demand for services.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) field, the data shows 9 BCBA credentials and 30 RBT credentials. It is important to note that these categories are not mutually exclusive, as 3 individuals hold both BCBA and RBT credentials. This dual credentialing often signifies career progression, where RBTs advance to become BCBAs, enhancing their supervisory capacity. The ratio of BCBAs to RBTs indicates a healthy supervisory structure, which is crucial for maintaining quality and ethical standards in ABA service delivery.
Provider Demographics and Key Organizations
Of the 65 individual providers, 54 (83%) are female, 10 (15%) are male, and 1 (2%) identifies as nonbinary, reflecting the predominantly female workforce often seen in behavioral health. Among organizations, "UNITED AT HOME" appeared 2 times, suggesting its active presence in the state. This data indicates a growing and well-structured ABA workforce, poised to enhance access to care for Nevadans.
