The average loan size in the city was $339,185 while the state's average loan amount was $242,614.

Of the money distributed, $30 billion went out automatically to health providers based on previous year medicare payments. If the money wasn't returned within 90 days the provider is then automatically entered into the repayment terms that are issued by HHS.
