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!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about desktop equipment appraisals

How is fair market value of medical equipment determined?

Fair market value of medical equipment is determined by analyzing the asset’s age, condition, remaining useful life, original cost, and current market demand. Appraisers also review recent sales of comparable medical equipment in the secondary market and adjust for factors such as technology obsolescence, regulatory requirements, and functional utility. The goal is to estimate the price at which the equipment would change hands between a willing buyer and seller, with neither under compulsion and both having reasonable knowledge of the market.

How much does an a medical equipment appraisal cost?

Medical equipment valuation costs are scope-based and depend on the number of assets, equipment complexity, intended use, and whether an on-site inspection is required. Single-item medical equipment appraisals typically start between $295 and $395, while small groups of medical equipment or mixed equipment sets often range from $995 to $2,200. Larger inventories of 50 or more items—commonly involving hospitals, imaging centers, or in-person inspections—generally range from $5,000 to $10,000+. Final pricing is provided as a fixed fee after reviewing the asset details to ensure the appraisal is properly scoped and USPAP-compliant. Learn more about medical equipment appraisal costs.

How long does an online medical equipment appraisal take?

Most online medical equipment appraisals are completed within 7-10 days after all required information is received. Turnaround time depends on the number of items, complexity of the equipment, and completeness of documentation such as photos, serial numbers, and specifications. Larger inventories, specialized equipment, or assignments requiring enhanced reporting may take longer. Online appraisals are generally faster than on-site inspections because they eliminate travel and scheduling delays while still providing market-supported, compliant results.

Are your online medical equipment appraisals USPAP-compliant?

Yes. Online medical equipment appraisals are prepared in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) when required by the intended use. USPAP compliance ensures the appraisal follows recognized professional standards for independence, methodology, and reporting. A USPAP-compliant appraisal is suitable for use by insurers, lenders, auditors, attorneys, tax professionals, and other third parties. The online format does not reduce compliance—values are supported by market data, documented assumptions, and appropriate valuation approaches.
