Why would an orthopaedic practice consider in-office
ultrasound equipment? Here are real life examples of
orthopaedic surgeons using office ultrasound for the
first time and their experiences:
-
7 ultrasound procedures were
performed in one day totaling $2100 to $2800.
The ultrasound leases for about $19 per day.
-
A surgeon placed the probe over
the joints, easily imaged them, and followed the
procedure needle to its target.
-
The same
surgeon identified the
shoulder joint and accurately inserted the
needle into the adjacent tissue rather than the
tendon. Comment: “Without ultrasound, viewing
the exact location of injections/withdrawals is
uncertain and possibly not optimal.”
-
In a knee procedure, another surgeon
was able to drain fluid from a tiny cyst (below
the knee) rather than having to schedule
surgery.
Financial Summary
Each doctor using the ultrasound receives from
approximately $300 to $400 per procedure at a $19
daily lease cost.
Leasing also gives you the
100% equipment depreciation write-off. Reducing (by
a bookkeeping entry)-remove this your taxable
income, so you pay thousands less in income taxes.
Training Summary
Full, expert in-office training for all physicians
is available.
