What the two tables above change about a file
At 66.6 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. With 1 approvals on record in Houston County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. With $81,648 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Perry households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
The order comes from Perry's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 37 percent. What a partner can actually place in Georgia is a separate question.
What a funder reads first in Perry
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Perry that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, specialty physician groups, chiropractic.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (61) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Specialty physician groups (16) | Ancillary revenue contribution, Provider productivity, Payer contracts | Ancillary build-out |
| Chiropractic (14) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
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.

Perry owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Perry, and in what?
165 enumerations sit at Perry addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 66.6 for every 10,000 residents. 37 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and specialty physician groups follows with 16. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 165 here cover fewer than 165 practices.
02Why does Houston County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 1 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Houston County. That tracks how few Houston County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 78 credit intermediation establishments operate in Houston County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03Is Perry underwritten as part of Warner Robins, GA?
Partly. Warner Robins, GA is 10 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 24,792 residents around Perry. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does Houston County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Houston County for primary care, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Perry and evidences a staffing ramp in a 24,792 resident market.
05Which fields carry the volume in Perry?
The 21 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 61, with specialty physician groups at 16 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Perry?
The town carries 2 Medicare-certified providers. On a receivables request that number sets the expected collection lag, which is priced before anything about the practice itself is read.
