Philadelphia's behavioral health sector registered 31 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. This represents less than 1% of the national weekly total. Of these, 19 providers were new this week, contributing to 20 new registrations this year. The registrations include 20 individual practitioners and 11 organizations, indicating ongoing activity in the city's behavioral health landscape.
ABA Credential Mix
Among the 31 providers registered in Philadelphia from this update, 2 are BCBAs and 2 are RBTs. No providers held dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this dataset. This limited number of ABA-specific credentials suggests that this particular weekly update primarily captured other behavioral health professionals or a small segment of the broader ABA workforce in Philadelphia. The presence of 7 providers with multiple taxonomies indicates a diverse range of services beyond primary ABA roles, such as mental health counseling and clinical social work.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in this update is predominantly female, with 14 practitioners, representing 70% of individual providers. 6 practitioners identify as male, making up 30%. No nonbinary providers were registered. There were no notable organizations appearing multiple times in this week's data.
This snapshot of recent NPI registrations suggests a dynamic but broadly diversified behavioral health sector in Philadelphia, with ABA-specific roles representing a small portion of the newly registered or updated providers.
