What Snohomish County credit files already show
The published file shows 15 healthcare approvals in Snohomish County, $12,546,400 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 15 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Dollars behind them | $12,546,400 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Typical approval size | $836,427 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 361 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
A file from here opens on 197.5 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. 15 approvals worth $12,546,400 in Snohomish County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. A $84,688 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the Snohomish mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
The order comes from Snohomish's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 30 percent. What a partner can actually place in Washington is a separate question.
The first pages of a Snohomish file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Snohomish 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 (63) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (25) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (23) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
