A regional center with regional patients

Lubbock is the economic center of the Lubbock metropolitan area on the High Plains. With 257,141 residents at the 2020 census and 310,639 in the county, it is a city whose practices may also see patients from nearby smaller towns such as Slaton and Wolfforth, which is good for volume. It does not fix the main cash issue, which is the time between a visit and the payment for it.

Three questions to ask before applying

How long does a typical claim take to pay?

Know your average, by payer. If one payer is much slower than the rest, that is where your cash is stuck.

What is the money for?

Equipment, hiring, covering payroll or a build-out each need a different amount and a different payback plan.

What happens if claims slow further?

If a bad quarter would leave you unable to pay back what you borrowed, reduce the amount or wait.

Where funding fits

Funding fits timing gaps and growth purchases that have a clear return. It does not fix denied claims or an unsound fee structure, and we do not give billing advice. A new exam room, an extra provider or a replacement diagnostic device all make sense if the added visits will cover their cost. See equipment financing for purchases and working capital for the operating gap.

The expansion timeline nobody budgets for

When a practice adds a provider or opens a new room, the first month looks fine on paper. The trouble comes in the months after, as the provider is credentialed with payers, the schedule fills gradually and the first claims move through review. Salary and rent start on day one, but billable revenue may not begin for weeks and does not reach the bank until weeks after that.

Count that stretch honestly. If the added costs are $15,000 a month, and revenue will not match them for four months, the gap to fund is far larger than one month of costs. Funding that is sized to the true timeline is safer than funding sized to a hopeful one.

What to bring to the decision

Before you apply, pull together your monthly payroll, your lease, your average days to payment by payer and any equipment quote you are considering. These numbers tell you how large the gap is, and they keep the request tied to something specific. A practice that asks for a number it can explain tends to use the money well, and tends to repay it comfortably.

Common Questions

Why do practices run short of cash?

Because a visit is billed first and paid later, while staff and rent are paid on schedule.

Can I fund new equipment?

Yes.

Do solo practitioners qualify to apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply.

Does funding help with denied claims?

Only by covering costs during the delay; the denial needs its own fix.

Is it a hard credit inquiry?

No. It is a soft pull.
