What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 57.2 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Clackamas County already carries $14,804,000 across 12 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $83,996 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Molalla households actually spend.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
The order comes from Molalla's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 19 percent. What a partner can actually place in Oregon is a separate question.
The first pages of a Molalla file
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, chiropractic, general dentistry account for most of what is enumerated in Molalla, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (11) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Chiropractic (10) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| General dentistry (10) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Counts in the first column are Molalla providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Molalla, not what any funder will do with your file.

How Molalla sits against the nearest metro
Distance to Salem, OR is 27 miles. That is close enough for rent in Molalla to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. At $83,996 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. Referral flow comes from outside Molalla, which a projection needs to state plainly.
