Oklahoma recorded 145 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 78 new providers this week and 85 new providers this year. Individuals account for 128 entries, compared with 17 organizations. That activity places Oklahoma in a smaller share of national behavioral health registrations, while the weekly additions indicate continued movement into the state’s provider market. NPI registrations do not by themselves confirm active caseloads, hiring volume or appointment availability.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential file lists 6 BCBAs and 46 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These categories are not mutually exclusive shares of the provider total: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap or describe the same provider differently. The wide gap between BCBAs and RBTs points to a direct-service-heavy ABA workforce with a smaller pool of credentialed supervisors. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, limited supervisory capacity could constrain how quickly Oklahoma converts technician growth into expanded ABA services. The absence of dual credentials also shows no notable recorded progression between the two roles in this update.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 85 providers as female, 24 as male and 19 as nonbinary, corresponding to 66%, 19% and 15%. The demographic counts total 128, matching the individual-provider count rather than the full provider total. The leading cities listed are Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, Edmond and Mustang, showing activity concentrated around the state’s larger population centers while also reaching smaller communities. The Center for Therapeutic Interventions appears 3 times in the organization data; repeated NPIs reflect registry activity and do not necessarily represent three distinct employers or equivalent service capacity.

Oklahoma’s RBT-heavy activity suggests potential ABA workforce growth, but the small BCBA pool makes supervision a key factor in future access.
