Tampa recorded 32 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 22 new providers this week, bringing the year’s total to 24 new registrations. With 31 individuals and one organization, the activity reflects a concentrated wave of individual enrollment rather than a broad mix of institutional registrations. Tampa’s zero-percent share signals that its registry activity remains small relative to the national weekly volume, even as new entries point to ongoing workforce movement in the city.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 2 BCBAs and 18 RBTs, with no providers identified as holding both credentials. That distribution shows a heavily direct-care-weighted ABA workforce: the RBT pool is substantially larger than the identified supervisory pool. In practice, two BCBAs may have limited capacity to supervise the listed RBT workforce, depending on caseloads, service models and whether some clinicians work outside the registry or across multiple locations. The credential categories are not a complete census of ABA personnel, and they should not be treated as shares of all providers because the registry also includes other behavioral health professionals. Three providers have multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that registry classifications can overlap.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 26 providers, or 84% of the reported total, while men account for 5 providers, or 16%. No nonbinary providers are listed. The update identifies no notable organization appearing multiple times, so it offers no evidence here of repeated registrations by a dominant employer or PE-backed ABA chain. Tampa’s influx of RBT registrations, paired with a smaller BCBA base, suggests expanding direct-service capacity but a potential need for additional supervisors to support access and sustainable ABA growth.
