Syracuse is a medical city, and a private practice here pays staff and rent weeks before insurers pay claims. Working capital is how owners cover that lag.
Apply Now →Syracuse is the county seat of Onondaga County and the largest city in Central New York, with 148,620 residents in the 2020 census. Its biggest institutions are in higher education, research and health care, and University Hill, home to Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical University, has grown alongside dozens of small medical office complexes. That is the ecosystem an independent practice lives in: referrals, shared patients and neighbors who are very large employers.
Being small inside that landscape has a specific cost. Your front desk, your clinicians and your landlord are paid on a fixed calendar. Your revenue arrives when a payer finishes processing a claim, which is not on your calendar at all.
Steps two and three are where cash goes missing. A practice can be busy and profitable on paper and still short on the 15th.
| Practice type | Where cash tends to tighten |
|---|---|
| Primary care | Payroll for nurses and front-desk staff while claims are in review |
| Dental | Chairs, imaging and sterilization equipment that fail or age out in one invoice |
| Physical therapy | Visit-based billing that stretches across weeks of treatment |
| Behavioral health | Long gaps between sessions delivered and payments received |
| New or expanding practices | Build-out, equipment and staff before the schedule fills |
Say a three-clinician practice near University Hill has $60,000 of monthly payroll and overhead, and about $90,000 in claims sitting with payers at any moment. Two large claims get sent back for a correction. Nothing is wrong with the practice; the deposits are simply late. A funding amount sized to bridge a few weeks of that gap keeps the schedule intact. Round numbers like these are only an illustration, not our terms or a typical outcome.
Working capital is for timing and growth, not for hiding a structural problem. If claims are denied for the same reason month after month, fix the billing process first. If you are buying equipment you will use for years, compare it with equipment financing. If you only need a flexible reserve, see a business line of credit.
We fund $25,000 to $5,000,000 and can fund in as little as 24 hours once you are approved. The application takes about five minutes with a soft credit pull. We look at roughly three months of business bank statements, require no tax returns, consider FICO scores of 500 and up, and accept sole proprietors, which covers many solo practitioners.
