West Virginia added 13 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI update, representing less than 1% of the national weekly total. This small influx of new professionals suggests a limited expansion in the state's behavioral health sector this period.
ABA Workforce Composition
The latest update shows 0 new BCBAs and 0 new RBTs registered in West Virginia. This indicates no growth in the state's core ABA workforce this week. Instead, the new individual providers include those with credentials such as BS, BA, BS Psychology, and LGSW. The primary taxonomies listed for these new providers are Acupuncturist and Addiction Counselor. The complete absence of BCBA and RBT credentials in this update suggests a lack of immediate expansion in the state's capacity for direct ABA service delivery and supervision.
Provider Demographics
All 13 new providers are individuals, with no organizations added to the registry this week. The gender breakdown shows 8 female providers, accounting for 62% of the total, while 5 male providers make up 38%. No notable organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data for West Virginia.
The complete absence of new BCBAs and RBTs in this update suggests a stagnant period for the growth of the ABA workforce in West Virginia, potentially impacting future access to services in the state.
