Options
What finance options are available?
Lease New
If you are looking to acquire the latest equipment for your facility, leasing a new MRI machine would be your best bet. The most significant advantage of leasing new equipment is that newer technology can provide a clinical advantage, an expanded service offering, and greater efficiency as compared to older models. By choosing to lease your MRI machine, you have the right to use the equipment without the burden of ownership. The advantages of leasing are lower payments, reduced upfront costs, and flexible end of term options. At the end of the initial term, you have the option to purchase, renew, extend, or return the equipment. Leasing MRI equipment often proves to be one of the most financially efficient ways to ensure your facility has advanced technology without tying up significant capital.
At Meridian Leasing, we will help you acquire the right MRI machine for the right price. Our medical equipment experts will review your equipment quotes against a pricing database, to ensure the price of your MRI machine is at or below market rates. After we review the requirements for the equipment you are looking for, we will discuss your desired terms and come up with a customized lease proposal. By investing our own capital in your equipment, we are positioned to provide you the most competitive lease payments for your MRI machine. If leasing a new MRI is something you are interested in, engage Meridian Leasing when you are looking at budgetary proposals. Our final lease proposal will be based on the final equipment proposal from the manufacturer.
Lease or Purchase Refurbished
If you want to lower your MRI costs, buying or leasing refurbished equipment is going to drive significant savings. Our equipment comes from an extensive inventory of off-lease equipment so you will find most MRI machines are obtainable including wide bore and 3.0 Tesla magnets. This makes current MRI technology readily accessible at a fraction of the cost.
Meridian Leasing offers refurbished MRI machines that go through an extensive seven-step process to ensure that the equipment exceeds OEM standards for performance and quality. Once the refurbishment process is complete, the equipment is certified Meridian SELECT.
