Learning Curve - 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 - 56. Take Home Tip
