Several of the 20 physical, occupational, and speech therapy enumerations can belong to one practice, so the column counts clinicians rather than businesses or owners
Cook County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 122 healthcare approvals in Cook County, $56,780,300 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 122 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [4] |
| Dollars behind them | $56,780,300 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [4] |
| Typical approval size | $465,412 | The dollar column over the approval column [4] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 2,528 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 43.3 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Cook County already carries $56,780,300 across 122 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $67,872 in Midlothian is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Programs the Midlothian mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
- Medical receivables factoring
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing

What a funder reads first in Midlothian
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, home health, dme and hme suppliers account for most of what is enumerated in Midlothian, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (20) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Home health (8) | Medicare certification first, Payer mix second, Days in accounts receivable third | Payroll between visit and remittance |
| DME and HME suppliers (7) | Accreditation and surety bond status, Rental versus sale revenue split, Denial rate and documentation quality | Inventory and rental fleet |
The first column is Midlothian's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Midlothian or anywhere else.
