What lenders have already approved in Pike County
With 0 healthcare approvals recorded, Pike County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 0 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $0 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | No approvals recorded | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 55 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Density of 245.7 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Pike County has 0 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. With $40,515 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what McComb households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Medical receivables factoring
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in McComb does not appear. Availability is still a Mississippi question.
What a funder reads first in McComb
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, behavioral and mental health group practices, primary care and family medicine account for most of what is enumerated in McComb, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |

| 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 |
| Primary care and family medicine (19) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Counts in the first column are McComb providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like McComb, not what any funder will do with your file.

02What does Pike County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Pike County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into McComb and evidences a staffing ramp in a 11,762 resident market.
03Why does Pike County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 0 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Pike County. That tracks how few Pike County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 55 credit intermediation establishments operate in Pike County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
04How does the hospital in McComb affect a practice file?
It makes the staffing and referral lines checkable. 4 Medicare-certified providers hold McComb addresses, and the hospital sets the wage a clinical hire is bid against in a 245.7 per 10,000 market.
05Which fields carry the volume in McComb?
The 27 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 118, with behavioral and mental health group practices at 28 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06Is McComb underwritten as part of Hammond, LA?
Hammond, LA sits 51 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Hammond, LA; the 11,762 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
