Indiana added 114 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. This steady influx indicates consistent growth in the state's behavioral health sector, reflecting ongoing demand for services.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis field, the data shows 2 BCBAs and 83 RBTs. Notably, 1 individual holds both BCBA and RBT credentials, meaning this provider is counted in both the BCBA and RBT totals. This high ratio of RBTs to BCBAs suggests a strong focus on direct service delivery, necessitating robust supervision capacity from the smaller BCBA cohort. Beyond ABA, the update also includes 5 LCSWs and 3 LMHCAs, indicating a broader expansion of mental health professionals.
Provider Demographics
Among the 105 individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with 77 female providers making up 73%. Male providers account for 15 male providers (14%), while 13% identify as nonbinary. The update also includes 9 organizations. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data. Indianapolis, Valparaiso, and South Bend were among the top cities for new enrollments.
The significant number of new RBTs points to an expanding capacity for direct ABA services across Indiana, though continued growth in BCBA supervision will be crucial for sustainable access.
