| Line | Amount | Reading and source |

| Approved dollars | $80,200,800 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [4] |

A $137,873 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.

The first pages of a Miami Shores file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Miami Shores that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, general dentistry.
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (22) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (13) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (13) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Local counts come from NPPES. What a file turns on is drawn from how the field is generally reviewed, not from any decision about your practice.
