Equipment ROI
Models the payback period and revenue potential for a specific piece of equipment.
What you'll get
12 / 24 / 36-month revenue model for the equipment with downside / base / upside scenarios
Assumes: Volume ramp: downside = 50% of your estimate, base = 100%, upside = 130%; reimbursement held flat (no annual rate increase assumed).
Break-even patient volume per week + months-to-payback in each scenario
Assumes: Payback = (purchase price + financing cost + training) ÷ monthly contribution margin; ignores tax shield until the lease-vs-buy view.
Lease vs. buy comparison with after-tax cash flow over 36 months
Assumes: Federal corporate rate 21% (adjustable); financing terms use your reported quote or a default 6-yr 8.5% APR if none.
CPT codes + per-procedure reimbursement assumptions + payer coverage notes
Assumes: Medicare baseline × your commercial multiplier; commercial coverage flagged for top 4 national payers only.

Assumes: Designed to support a 5-minute capital decision conversation, not to replace a full CFO review.
Sample output
At 8 procedures/week, the equipment pays back in 14 months and clears $112K in year 2.
Who this is for
- Owners evaluating a specific capital purchase ($20K–$500K)
- Practices weighing lease vs. buy
- Clinics needing a quick decision document for a partner meeting
Not the right fit if
- Owners shopping across many equipment categories at once (use the new-service feasibility report instead)
- Equipment outside the $20K–$500K range — modeling assumptions don't translate well
How we build it
- 1We model three scenarios (downside, base, upside) using realistic ramp curves, not vendor projections.
- 2Lease vs. buy compares after-tax cash flow using a 21% federal corp rate (adjustable) and your assumed financing terms.
- 3Reimbursement assumptions cite Medicare baselines and adjust for commercial multiplier in your region.
What we'll ask in intake
- Equipment make/model and quoted purchase price
- Expected procedure volume per week (your best guess)
- Lease quote details if available
- Specialty and primary payers
No PHI required. Aggregates, percentages, and estimates are enough.
