The consequence of these numbers
86.0 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 298 approvals worth $229,015,900 in Los Angeles County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at.

The first pages of a Alhambra file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Alhambra that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, specialty physician groups, general dentistry.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (172) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Specialty physician groups (72) | Ancillary revenue contribution, Provider productivity, Payer contracts | Ancillary build-out |
| General dentistry (63) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Counts in the first column are Alhambra providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Alhambra, not what any funder will do with your file.
