Questions from Marion
01How many providers practice in Marion, and in what?
123 enumerations sit at Marion addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 90.9 for every 10,000 residents. 33 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and behavioral and mental health group practices follows with 24. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 123 here cover fewer than 123 practices.
02What does Crittenden County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Crittenden County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 13,524 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
03Why does Crittenden County show so little SBA activity?
Crittenden County shows 0 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 26 lending establishments operate locally.
04Which fields carry the volume in Marion?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 41 providers and behavioral and mental health group practices at 24 lead the 22 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
05Is Marion underwritten as part of Memphis, TN-MS-AR?
Comparables and demand split at 15 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Memphis, TN-MS-AR; the revenue line has to hold up against 13,524 local residents.
06What does the underserved designation in Crittenden County support?
Crittenden County carries a medically underserved designation. It evidences unmet demand behind a capacity build, and it opens recruitment programs that make a staffing line in a projection easier to defend than local wage data alone would.
