West Virginia recorded 53 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update lists 22 new providers this week and 26 added this year. Individuals account for 50 records and organizations for 3. The state’s modest share signals limited registry activity compared with the national market, while the recent additions point to continued behavioral health enrollment across a relatively small provider base. NPI activity reflects registry records, not confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary reports 0 BCBAs, 3 RBTs and 0 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories can overlap in registry data, although no dual-credential records appear in this update. The absence of a documented BCBA alongside 3 RBT records indicates little visible supervisory capacity for ABA in this snapshot. RBTs typically require BCBA oversight, so the records may reflect incomplete credential reporting, providers whose NPIs are categorized elsewhere or a genuinely thin ABA supervisory workforce. Eight providers carry multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that NPI classifications may describe overlapping roles rather than separate, mutually exclusive groups.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 41 female providers, or 82%, and 9 male providers, or 18%. No nonbinary providers are reported. Charleston, Huntington, Logan, Morgantown and Princeton are the leading listed cities, suggesting activity across several regional centers rather than a single recorded hub. The registry flags no notable organizations appearing multiple times. The 3 organization records therefore should not be read as a count of distinct operating locations or employers.
West Virginia’s update suggests a broad behavioral health registry presence but limited documented ABA supervision, making BCBA recruitment and clearer credential reporting important to expanding access.
