Rhode Island recorded 36 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The file lists 11 new providers this week and 15 new providers this year, alongside 30 individuals and 6 organizations. The state’s zero recorded share indicates that Rhode Island contributed little or no measurable volume to the national activity captured in this update, even as new entries point to continuing provider turnover or expansion. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, employment status or open appointment capacity.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry lists 0 BCBA credentials, 4 RBT credentials and 0 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These credential counts can overlap with taxonomy fields and should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of the 36-provider total. The absence of BCBAs alongside four RBT entries is notable for ABA operations: RBTs provide direct services under BCBA supervision, so this snapshot shows direct-service technician activity without a corresponding BCBA credential count. That may reflect incomplete credential reporting, providers represented under other fields or a limited ABA presence in the weekly update—not necessarily a statewide absence of supervisors. The broader credential mix is led by LICSW credentials, with 7 listed, followed by LCSW with 3.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 23 female providers, 7 male providers and 0 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 77%, 23% and 0%. Providence, Cranston, Pawtucket, Greenville and Warwick are the listed top cities, indicating activity across several population centers rather than one single location. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Nine providers have multiple taxonomies, another reason registry categories should not be read as a count of distinct service capacity.
Rhode Island’s limited RBT activity and absent BCBA count suggest that supervision availability and credential reporting will remain important indicators of future ABA access.
