5 Tips to Budget for Medical Equipment for a Doctor’s Office

A new year means it’s time to readjust your budgets for your medical office supplies, equipment, and more at your healthcare facility.

Of course, finding the right medical office equipment or supplies on a budget is easier said than done. That’s why we're here to share our best tips and tricks on how to find affordable medical equipment for your doctor’s office this year.

1. Keep Tax Credits in Mind

Do you know that if you place an order with ExamTablesDirect for your medical practice, you may be eligible for tax deductions in the upcoming year? This is thanks to Section 179 which allows small businesses to deduct 100% of the purchase price for a piece of eligible property during the first year that it was put into service for your business.

According to Investopedia, many small businesses utilize this tax benefit for machinery, vehicles, and software. Many people don’t realize it can also be used for medical equipment!

This deduction is important if you make major purchases of property, equipment, or machinery for your business. It can help your medical practice lower its current-year tax liability, meaning more money back in your pocket come tax season.

2. Choose Your Features Wisely

Another way to save money on medical supplies and equipment is to consider scaling back on certain features. From exam tables and chairs to cabinets and office supplies, you can find plenty of options with high-tech features to equipment that is more bare-bones but still gets the job done.

While technology that enables fast positioning and taking automatic vitals can help streamline patient care, it can also be expensive. Consider making a medical office equipment list of the things you need and the features that are nice to have. You are sure to find many options that can benefit your practice without breaking the bank.

For instance, the UMF 3002 FusionONE Power Exam Table offers a happy medium to help your staff work more efficiently. It includes a one-function foot control with hi-lo to keep hands free, but a manual backrest for efficient adjustments, which makes it a more affordable option.

3. Consider Used Medical Office Equipment

Finding used medical office equipment for sale can go a long way in helping you budget for medical equipment for your doctor’s office. This is an extremely affordable option and you can rest assured that your medical practice is receiving equipment and has been reconditioned to perform to standards.

The Midmark Ritter 104 Manual Examination Table (Reconditioned) is one such reconditioned option. It empowers your staff to seamlessly position patients for easy access and added safety features like non-skid steps. Plus, you can order a new top for an extra fee if you want a different upholstery cover or simply want brand-new upholstery.

4. Save on Shipping

Shipping medical equipment to your doctor’s office can be a big expense that adds up over time. You can make your budget go further by choosing medical equipment and supplies that can ship quickly and inexpensively.

It goes without saying that medical equipment can be bulky and oftentimes comes from overseas. But medical office supplies and equipment, such as the Blood Drawing Phlebotomy Chair w/Drawer (Ambidextrous version), is a great combination of quality, affordable pricing, and ships right away. Plus, it doesn’t need freight shipping. All of these small details can go a long way to helping you stretch your budget this year.

You also don’t want shipping to hold up operations at your practice (and waste money by missing out on treating more patients).
