Whether you’re running a hospital, urgent care, private healthcare facility, or an OB/GYN office, you’re probably always looking at new equipment prices. Just as any other business, you have a budget and with general equipment costs going up each year, it’s important to make smart investments in medical equipment that can last your clinic more than a couple of years.
If you’re interested in upgrading your existing systems, you should know about your options when it comes to ultrasound machines, the price ranges, and your options for selling your old equipment.
Price Ranges
You probably already know that medical equipment is always a huge investment. If you’d like to buy ultrasound equipment, you need to think about how many machines you need for each room and how much you’d like to spend on each machine. Ultrasound machines typically start around ten thousand dollars. However, these machines scale in price up to over thirty-five thousand dollars. Depending on your budget and how many machines you’d like, you’ll have some options to save money.
Doing Your Research Carefully
Purchasing medical equipment is not something that you can do quickly. You need to take the time to read reviews on each machine, how it benefits the patients and doctors, and how quickly you can expect to get a return on your investment.
Consider Selling Your Old Equipment
If you’re looking for a way to stretch the budget to buy ultrasound equipment, you should consider selling your old equipment. While you certainly won’t get full price, you’ll be able to use the money that you’ve made by selling your old equipment to invest in new machines.
If you do a lot of research, get several quotes, and figure out the most cost-effective way to upgrade, you’ll be able to purchase new ultrasound machines that can benefit your clinic and your patients.
