Scan volume in primary care has grown steadily as internists and family physicians add point-of-care capability to reduce same-day referrals and speed diagnosis. A primary care provider who can image the abdomen, check a soft-tissue mass, or place a needle under real-time guidance keeps more clinical work in-house and delivers a faster answer to the patient sitting in front of them. The question is how to get the right system onto the cart without tying up working capital that the practice needs for staffing, supplies, and facility costs.
We finance ultrasound equipment for primary care practices across the country, from single-provider offices to multi-site group practices with a dozen physicians. Our minimum is $50,000 and we are comfortable with transactions in the $100,000 to $150,000-plus range. Applications under roughly $400,000 can qualify on a streamlined application-only basis, with bank statements rather than a full financial package. Funding typically closes in about one to two weeks, which means the machine can be arriving while most referrals for the same equipment are still waiting for an appointment.
