Phoenix recorded 36 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. Its reported share of the national weekly total was 0%, indicating that the city represents a limited portion of newly captured national activity despite serving as a major regional behavioral health market. The registry included 15 new providers this week and 21 new providers this year, with 25 individuals and 11 organizations represented.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 4 BCBA providers and 8 RBT providers, with no providers identified as holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials. Because the credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, these categories should not be read as mutually exclusive across the full registry. The mix points to a larger direct-care workforce than supervisory workforce, leaving BCBAs responsible for supervising RBT services and potentially limiting capacity as demand grows. Eight providers reported multiple taxonomies, also indicating that some practitioners or entities span more than one service category.
Workforce Demographics
Among individual providers, 19 are female, representing 76%, while 5 are male, or 20%. 1 provider identified as nonbinary, representing 4%. No organization appeared multiple times in the update as a notable recurring employer, and the registry does not show a clear concentration under a named multi-state ABA chain. Phoenix’s combination of new RBT registrations and a smaller BCBA pool suggests expanding direct-care availability, but supervisory capacity will remain an important constraint on ABA access.
