The latest CMS NPI registry update shows 23 new behavioral health providers registered in Las Vegas, Nevada, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This modest weekly addition to the local workforce includes 16 individual practitioners and 7 organizations, contributing to the city's overall behavioral health capacity.
ABA Credential Breakdown
Focusing on Applied Behavior Analysis credentials, the data reveals 1 BCBA and 15 RBTs among the individual providers. There were no providers registered with dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. The ratio of one BCBA to fifteen RBTs indicates a high demand for supervisory capacity, as BCBAs are responsible for overseeing RBTs' direct client work. This ratio suggests a potential bottleneck in supervision, which is critical for maintaining the quality and compliance of ABA services.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Las Vegas is predominantly female, with 12 female providers accounting for 75% of the total. Male providers number 3, making up 19%, and there is 1 nonbinary provider, representing 6%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update. The influx of RBTs, while positive for direct service capacity, highlights an ongoing need for more BCBAs to ensure adequate supervision and support the growth of comprehensive ABA services in the Las Vegas area.
