San Antonio recorded 54 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 37 new providers this week and lists 40 new providers this year. Records include 50 individuals and 4 organizations, signaling a concentrated burst of provider activity in the city. The NPI count does not necessarily represent staffed locations, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 1 BCBA and 26 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. The RBT count is a taxonomy-based total, while the credential fields also identify RBTs; these categories can overlap and should not be treated as separate, mutually exclusive groups. The wide gap between direct-care technicians and board-certified supervisors points to a workforce structure that may support substantial service delivery but has limited documented BCBA supervision capacity. The registry reports 9 providers with multiple taxonomies, so classifications across the broader behavioral health workforce also should not be added together as distinct populations.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 37 providers, or 74% of the reported workforce. Men account for 10 providers, or 20%, and nonbinary providers account for 3 providers, or 6%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. The broader mix includes five LCSWs and five LPCs, but those credential counts overlap with taxonomy reporting and are not mutually exclusive. Overall, the update suggests San Antonio’s ABA activity is expanding mainly through RBT registrations, making BCBA recruitment and supervision capacity important constraints on future access.
