Fetal Monitoring Ultrasound

The financing does not require specific software accreditation; that is a clinical and billing credentialing issue between your practice, the FMF, and your payers. When choosing the system itself, however, you should confirm that the software version is on the current FMF-approved list for NT measurement if NT screening is part of your program. The accreditation requirement affects which system you buy; the financing follows your equipment choice.

Trade-in transactions work similarly to private-party used sales. The value of the old system can be applied toward the down payment or purchase price on the new system, and the net amount is what gets financed. Whether the trade-in is handled by the manufacturer, a dealer, or a separate resale transaction, the practical effect is the same: the net financed amount is lower when the old system's value is captured.

Practice size by itself is not a disqualifying factor. A solo-physician practice with a solid revenue history and good personal credit profile of the physician-owner qualifies for ultrasound financing on the same terms as a multi-physician group. A personal guarantee from the practice owner is standard in smaller practices. What matters is revenue consistency and creditworthiness, not headcount.

Yes. GE Voluson systems, including the Voluson E10, E8, S10, and SWIFT, are among the most actively financed OB ultrasound platforms in our program. Specific model preferences from a trained team are a normal part of the equipment selection process and do not change the financing structure. We finance GE Voluson systems new and certified pre-owned.

Deferred payment structures allow a practice to begin using the equipment while delaying the start of principal payments for a defined period, typically 60 to 120 days or up to six months depending on the program. Interest may accrue during the deferral period. This gives a new OB practice runway to build its patient schedule and establish scan volume before the full payment obligation begins. Not all transactions qualify for deferred start; creditworthiness and transaction size affect eligibility.
