Provider Verification Center™ · Spicy Behavioral Institute™
Search public verification resources for BCBAs, RBTs, diagnosing providers, therapists, physicians, and other professionals involved in autism and developmental disability services.
Use this tool to locate official state licensing boards, BACB verification resources, and NPI provider lookup links so you can complete your own credential and provider status checks.
Informational only. This tool helps users locate public provider verification resources, state licensing boards, BACB verification resources, and NPI lookup tools. Spicy Behavioral Institute™ does not certify, verify, endorse, warrant, or guarantee any provider, credential, license, certification, enrollment status, or scope of practice. Users must verify provider status directly through the official licensing board, BACB registry, NPI Registry, payer enrollment system, or other appropriate official source — always confirm on the provider's official portal and the NPI database before relying on any result.

What you can verify: National Provider Identifier (NPI) records, taxonomy / specialty, practice location, and basic provider demographic information.
An NPI record confirms identity and taxonomy only. It does not confirm an active license, credential, or scope of practice.

Keep an internal record of a verification you ran (license board, BACB registry, NPI registry, or payer portal). Notes are private to your account.
Saving does not certify provider status. Always confirm directly on the official provider portal and the NPI database.

Run pre-hire and ongoing license, BACB, and NPI checks against the correct official source.
Look up the provider serving your child or client and verify licensure, BACB status, and NPI directly.
