Tampa had 32 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, accounting for 0% of the national weekly total as reported in the data. The registry lists 22 new this week and 23 new this year, with 28 individuals and four organizations. The reported share indicates little national concentration, though NPI listings do not confirm whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients or delivering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 2 BCBA providers and 17 RBT providers, with no providers reported as holding both credentials. These counts are not a complete or mutually exclusive breakdown of everyone in the registry: other behavioral health credentials and taxonomies are also represented, and one provider has multiple taxonomies. The larger RBT count points to more listed direct-care capacity than BCBA supervisory capacity. In ABA settings, that gap can limit how quickly clinics expand technician-led services if supervisory availability does not keep pace. The registry does not establish providers’ current roles or caseloads.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 23 providers, or 82% of the reported workforce; men account for five, or 18%. No nonbinary providers are listed. The data identifies four organizations, but no organization appears among the notable organizations or is reported as appearing multiple times. Tampa’s listings also include providers in counseling, social work, psychology and speech-language pathology, indicating that the city’s registry activity extends beyond ABA credentials. Overall, the RBT-heavy listing and relatively small BCBA count suggest that access to ABA in Tampa may depend on building supervisory capacity alongside its direct-care workforce.
