  • 55. Can Your Practice Justify the Cost?
    DR X-Ray
    $90,000
    5 years at 6% interest = $117,000.00
    4years of service = $24,000
    Total = $141,000.00 total or $28,200/yr (23,400)
    If 400 rads will cost $70.50 each (58.50)
    1000 = $28.20 (23.40)
    1500 = $18.80 ( 15.60)
    Expect 20-30% increase
