How this data lands in an underwriting decision
At 63.0 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 20 prior Tulsa County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. With $73,400 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Sand Springs households actually spend.
Programs the Sand Springs mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
Weighted by how often each of the 18 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Oklahoma rules and the partner decide availability.
The first pages of a Sand Springs file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Sand Springs that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, general dentistry.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (35) | 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 |
| General dentistry (16) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
NPPES supplies the Sand Springs counts. The reading columns describe the field in general, and no partner reviewing a Sand Springs file is bound by them.

What the geography does to a Sand Springs projection
13 miles separate Sand Springs from Tulsa, OK. Lease pricing follows Tulsa, OK, while revenue stays capped by the 20,330 residents here. Households here carry $73,400 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. Referral flow comes from outside Sand Springs, which a projection needs to state plainly.
