What Washington County credit files already show
8 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 8 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Total approved capital | $2,149,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Mean deal size | $268,625 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 124 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
Underwriting starts with 56.2 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. With 8 approvals on record in Washington County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. With $90,379 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Oakdale households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Oakdale does not appear. Availability is still a Minnesota question.
The first pages of a Oakdale file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Oakdale that means chiropractic, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Chiropractic (37) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (28) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (17) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Counts in the first column are Oakdale providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Oakdale, not what any funder will do with your file.

What owners in Oakdale ask
01How many providers practice in Oakdale, and in what?
171 enumerations sit at Oakdale addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 56.2 for every 10,000 residents. 22 percent of them are chiropractic, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy follows with 28. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 171 here cover fewer than 171 practices.
02Why does Washington County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 8 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Washington County. That tracks how few Washington County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 124 credit intermediation establishments operate in Washington County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03What does Washington County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Washington County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
04Which fields carry the volume in Oakdale?
The 21 enumerated fields are led by chiropractic at 37, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 28 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
05How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Oakdale?
3 Medicare-certified providers hold an address in the town across the Care Compare categories. Certified volume this close matters on a working-capital file, because it shows the payer-mix and the reimbursement lag a funder will price into a 30,441 resident market.
06Is Oakdale underwritten as part of Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI?
Partly. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI is 15 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 30,441 residents around Oakdale. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
