Pennsylvania recorded 207 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, equal to 2% of the national weekly total. The file reports 94 new this week and 113 this year, with 168 individuals and 39 organizations. That concentration points to a sizable stream of registry activity, but NPI records do not establish hiring, active caseloads or service availability.

ABA workforce mix

The credential summary lists 17 BCBAs and 19 RBTs, plus one provider with both credentials. These categories overlap: the dual-credential provider is included in the broader BCBA and RBT counts, not a separate addition. The near-even totals suggest a limited supervisory bench relative to the technician pool; BCBAs supervise RBTs and guide treatment, so expanding technician capacity alone may not translate into more ABA services. The separate credential-text field reports four BCBAs, illustrating that credential fields can vary and should not be treated as a complete workforce census. The update also reports 43 providers with multiple taxonomies, which may describe overlapping roles rather than distinct workers.

Demographics and organizations

Women account for 133 providers, or 79%; men account for 31, or 18%; and nonbinary providers account for four, or 2%. Elwyn of Pennsylvania and Delaware appears in five organization records, while Merakey Pennsylvania appears in two. Repeated entries indicate multiple registry records, not necessarily separate employers. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are among the listed leading cities, alongside Allentown, Norristown and Lancaster.

The update suggests meaningful ABA workforce activity across Pennsylvania, but the comparatively small BCBA count makes recruitment and retention of supervisors important to converting technician growth into broader access.
