Great experience. Joe was super helpful. Got my appraisal in just a couple days and it was very detailed. Will definitely be using this company again!

After researching several companies, I contacted [Value Doctor] for a personal medical equipment appraisal - they responded to me within a day and were both professional and patient throughout the process!

They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. They were very responsive and communicative. I would use them again!

Hospital Equipment Appraisal Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hospital equipment appraisal?

A hospital equipment appraisal is a professional, independent opinion of value for hospital assets such as diagnostic imaging systems, surgical equipment, laboratory analyzers, patient monitoring systems, and central processing equipment. Reports may be prepared for financing, insurance, estate planning, charitable donations, mergers and acquisitions, audits, or regulatory compliance.

When do I need a hospital equipment appraisal?

You may need a hospital equipment appraisal for:

• Mergers or acquisitions

• Asset purchases or divestitures

• Financing or refinancing

• Asset-based lending

• Insurance coverage documentation or claims

• Estate and gift tax reporting

• Charitable contributions

• Litigation matters

• Financial reporting or regulatory compliance

If you are unsure whether an appraisal is required, we can help determine the appropriate scope.

What types of hospital equipment can be appraised?

We appraise a wide range of hospital assets, including:

• MRI machines and CT scanners

• PET systems and nuclear imaging equipment

• X-ray and radiography systems

• Ultrasound machines

• C-arm imaging systems

• Surgical tables and operating room equipment

• Anesthesia machines and ventilators

• Patient monitoring systems

• Infusion pumps and defibrillators

• Hospital beds and specialty care units

• Medical gas systems

• Imaging suite and surgical suite build-outs

• Multi-department and multi-facility equipment inventories

Both individual assets and complete hospital equipment inventories can be appraised.

Are hospital equipment appraisals completed online?

Yes. Many hospital equipment appraisals can be completed remotely using detailed asset inventories, photographs, model and serial numbers, installation data, and supporting documentation. Online appraisals provide faster turnaround and reduced operational disruption while maintaining professional standards.

If asset complexity, scale, or verification requirements demand it, on-site inspections can be arranged.

Are your reports USPAP-compliant?

Yes. When required, our reports are prepared in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). We provide properly documented, defensible valuation reports suitable for review by lenders, auditors, CPAs, attorneys, insurers, and regulatory authorities.

How long does a hospital equipment appraisal take?

Turnaround time depends on scope and complexity. Smaller equipment groups may be completed within several business days. Large facilities or multi-location health systems may require additional time depending on asset count and coordination requirements. Rush services are often available when needed.

How much does a hospital equipment appraisal cost?

Pricing depends on:

• Number of assets

• Equipment type and technical complexity

• Number of departments or locations

• Intended use of the appraisal

• Whether on-site inspection is required

We provide clear, upfront quotes once we understand the scope of the engagement.

Do you appraise hospital equipment for charitable donations?

Yes. We provide qualified appraisals for noncash charitable contributions when required for IRS reporting. Reports are prepared to meet applicable documentation and substantiation standards.

Can you appraise hospital equipment for mergers and acquisitions?

Yes. We frequently appraise tangible hospital equipment assets for transaction support, including acquisitions, restructurings, and divestitures. If a broader healthcare business valuation is required, including enterprise value or intangible assets, that can be scoped separately.
