The lending record behind Thibodaux
4 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 4 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $1,650,000 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Typical approval size | $412,500 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 73 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
Reading Thibodaux the way a credit committee does
A file from here opens on 230.6 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. A short county record of 4 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. With $53,775 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Thibodaux households actually spend.
Programs the Thibodaux mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Medical receivables factoring
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Thibodaux does not appear. Availability is still a Louisiana question.
What a funder reads first in Thibodaux
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, behavioral and mental health group practices account for most of what is enumerated in Thibodaux, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (116) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (30) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Behavioral and mental health group practices (28) | Clinician retention and productivity, Payer mix and Medicaid concentration, Re-authorization and session limit exposure | Working capital through the credentialing lag |
Counts in the first column are Thibodaux providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Thibodaux, not what any funder will do with your file.

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Thibodaux
Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA lies 16 miles from Thibodaux, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, LA rents while 15,569 residents set the revenue ceiling. Households here carry $53,775 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. Because a certified hospital sits inside the town, both the referral path and the pay a clinical hire expects are already observable. Higher education here explains why summer looks unlike the rest of the year. Thibodaux is the Lafourche County seat, so county employment steadies the payer mix.

What owners in Thibodaux ask
01How many providers practice in Thibodaux, and in what?
NPPES lists 359 providers at a Thibodaux practice address, 230.6 per 10,000 residents across 30 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 116 of them, 32 percent of the total, with primary care and family medicine next at 30. Read that as clinicians: 359 enumerations, not 359 owners.
02What does Lafourche County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Lafourche County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Thibodaux and evidences a staffing ramp in a 15,569 resident market.
03Why does Lafourche County show so little SBA activity?
Lafourche County shows 4 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. 73 lending establishments operate locally.
04How does the hospital in Thibodaux affect a practice file?
A Medicare-certified hospital operates in the town, which gives referral flow, a call schedule, and a clinical labor pool a funder can verify. 9 Medicare-certified providers are located here in total. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 230.6 per 10,000 market.
05What does a $53,775 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Thibodaux runs $53,775. On elective and cash-pay work that is the number a funder converts into case acceptance, and it sets how much of a treatment plan a projection can assume gets started rather than deferred.
06Which fields carry the volume in Thibodaux?
Volume concentrates in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 116 of them, ahead of primary care and family medicine at 30, across 30 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
