Utah recorded 133 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update added 80 new providers this week and includes 112 individuals and 21 organizations. Utah’s share signals a meaningful but limited presence in national behavioral health NPI activity. The registry measures enrollment activity, not active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 8 BCBAs and 44 RBTs, including 3 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are counted in both the BCBA and RBT figures, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of Utah’s provider total. The larger RBT pool points to substantial technician-level capacity, while the smaller BCBA group indicates a more constrained supervisory layer. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, conduct assessments, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, limited supervisory capacity can slow the conversion of technician growth into expanded ABA access. The broader registry also includes social work, counseling, case management and speech-language credentials, showing that the update captures behavioral health activity beyond ABA.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 89 female providers, 21 male providers and 2 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 79%, 19% and 2%. The gender categories total less than the overall provider count, indicating that some records do not include an assigned gender. Salt Lake City, Orem, St. George, Draper and Ogden are the listed leading cities, suggesting activity across Utah’s major population centers and southern market. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. 18 multi-taxonomy providers further show why registry classifications can overlap rather than represent separate workforce segments.
Utah’s update suggests growing technician capacity alongside a thinner BCBA supervisory base, making supervisor recruitment central to sustaining ABA access as the workforce expands.
