What the two tables above change about a file
A file from here opens on 47.9 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. 16 approvals worth $6,501,000 in Greenville County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. With $72,021 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Fountain Inn 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 Fountain Inn does not appear. Availability is still a South Carolina question.
What a funder reads first in Fountain Inn
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, general dentistry, dme and hme suppliers account for most of what is enumerated in Fountain Inn, 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 (24) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| General dentistry (7) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| DME and HME suppliers (6) | Accreditation and surety bond status, Rental versus sale revenue split, Denial rate and documentation quality | Inventory and rental fleet |
Local counts come from NPPES. What a file turns on is drawn from how the field is generally reviewed, not from any decision about your practice.
