Medical Equipment Leasing and NAICS Codes, Explained for Family-Medicine Offices

NAICS codes are the Census Bureau's industry labels, and lenders use them to classify a borrower. Family-medicine offices file under offices of physicians, NAICS 6211; dentists under 6212; chiropractors, therapists and optometrists under 6213. The company leasing equipment to the practice has its own code in the rental and leasing sector. A lender may ask for the practice's code on an application, and some programs and risk models treat codes differently.

For the practice, the question that matters is lease or own. A lease keeps title with the lessor and can simplify upgrading when technology changes; a loan builds ownership in equipment the practice plans to keep. Compare total payments, any buyout and who services the machine.

How to Buy into a Medical Practice: Notes for Specialty Clinics

Buying into a medical practice means paying an existing owner for a share of the practice's value: its equipment, receivables and the goodwill of its patient base. Specialty clinics set that price from the practice's collections and profit, and the incoming doctor finances it with a term loan, sometimes with part paid by the practice over time from future earnings. Illustration only, invented figures: a $240,000 buy-in with $48,000 down, financed over 84 months at an invented annual rate of 9.5%, costs about $3,138 a month (our arithmetic).

• The buy-in agreement, with the price and how it was set.
• Three years of the practice's returns and collections reports.
• The incoming doctor's personal financial statement and credit.
• The practice's lease and any equipment loans already in place.

The chiropractic and therapy page covers those practices in full.

Medical Equipment Leasing Business for Specialty Clinics

A medical equipment leasing business, the lessor, buys equipment and rents it to practices for a fixed term. For a specialty clinic on the other side of that arrangement, the lease is one route among several. Illustration only, invented figures: a $72,000 ultrasound system financed with a loan over 60 months at an invented annual rate of 9% costs about $1,495 a month (our arithmetic); a lease quote for the same unit should be compared on total payments plus any buyout. Mohave County, AZ had 51 outpatient care centers with paid employees in 2023 (County Business Patterns 2023), another group that leases equipment.

Medical Practice Cash Flow Analysis for Mohave County, AZ Clinics and Group Practices

Medical practice cash flow analysis starts with collections, not charges. A practice tracks what it bills, what payers allow, what they pay and how long they take. Illustration only, invented figures: a clinic collecting $92,000 a month with receivables averaging 45 days carries about $138,000 in receivables at any time (our arithmetic); a payer delay of a few weeks shifts that balance, and payroll does not wait for it.

1. Pull twelve months of collections by payer.
2. Calculate days in receivables, overall and by payer.
3. Set payroll, rent and equipment payments against monthly collections.
4. Find the month when collections fell furthest below fixed costs.
5. Size any line of credit to that shortfall, plus a margin.

Clinics and group practices in Mohave County, AZ can phone (928) 437-8609 with the shortfall figure; the Lake Havasu City, AZ page has the county counts.
