More physicians taking a second look at leasing

Article Abstract:

More and more independent physicians are leasing their medical equipment because of the economic effects of the recession and tight lending policies. Medical equipment vendors have identified this trend and are actively marketing lower-cost equipment to independents, especially since hospitals have reduced their purchases of high-ticket equipment. Physicians should consider leasing if technology is rapidly changing, they need convenience in financing, they have credit problems or they have problems with cash flow.
