Rhode Island recorded 50 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total in the supplied data. The file lists 19 added this week and 27 this year, with 43 individuals and 7 organizations. That reported share signals a very small contribution to national registry activity, not necessarily a small clinical workforce: NPI records track provider enrollment and do not establish hiring, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 0 BCBAs, 0 RBTs and 0 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The update therefore offers no basis for assessing Rhode Island’s ABA supervision capacity or the balance between BCBAs and RBTs. It does not show that the state has no ABA workforce; rather, the listed records are largely social work, counseling and case-management providers, and registry credentials may not capture every professional qualification. The file reports 17 providers with multiple taxonomies. Those classifications can overlap, so they should not be read as separate provider groups.
Demographics and Organizations
Women account for 36 providers, or 84%, while men account for 7, or 16%; the file lists no nonbinary providers. No notable organizations were supplied in the summary. However, Fellowship Health Resources appears in two organization records, both in Lincoln, so those entries should not automatically be interpreted as separate employers. Providence is among the listed leading cities, alongside West Warwick, Lincoln, Middletown and Woonsocket.
The update points to active behavioral health registry activity but provides no direct measure of ABA staffing; operators will need more complete credential and workforce data to gauge access or supervisory capacity in Rhode Island.
