Vermont added 20 behavioral health providers to the CMS NPI registry in the latest weekly update, with 16 new registrations occurring this week. This activity represents a negligible share of the national total, yet signals localized growth within the state's behavioral health landscape. Of these additions, 17 are individuals and 3 are organizations.
Credential Mix and Workforce Focus
Notably, the data shows no new BCBA or RBT credentials among these registrations. This indicates that the recent additions to Vermont's behavioral health workforce are primarily focused on broader mental health and case management roles. The listed credentials include 2 BAs, 2 MAs, 1 LICSW, 1 MSW, 1 AS, and 1 BS. The absence of BCBA and RBT credentials suggests that this week's growth in Vermont's behavioral health sector is not directly contributing to the state's specialized ABA supervision or direct service capacity.
Provider Demographics
Among the individual providers registered, the gender distribution is predominantly female, with 71% identifying as female (12 individuals), 18% as male (3 individuals), and 12% as nonbinary (2 individuals). No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update, suggesting a diverse spread of new organizational entries rather than significant expansion by a single dominant entity.
This week's NPI data for Vermont highlights a modest expansion in general behavioral health roles, particularly in case management and clinical social work, but does not reflect an increase in the specialized ABA workforce.
