Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology

As healthcare and diagnostics improve for human patients, so it does for members of the animal kingdom.  And perhaps one of the most important tools to improve treatment for dogs, cats, horses and other mammals are C-Arms. Before you think your practice can’t afford one, think again.  There are plenty of used and refurbished C-Arms on the market that can make a Mobile C-Arm a reality for your practice. Even if you have limited space, in all likelihood there’s a C-Arm that will work for you.

Its a digital (detector) world! In a few years the word analog will be ancient history. We are beginning to see digital detectors on just about every imaging system from Mammography to C-Arms to X-Ray. But it is with X-Ray where the Federal Government is starting to make the strongest push for change. With the passing of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016  the reimbursement rates for Analog X-Ray systems will start to decline starting in 2017. Which begs the question, what are YOU going to do? 

Do you want to hear a sad story we have heard way too many times?

Whether you buy a new or used C-Arm, the fact of the matter is that at one point or another your system will have an issue. As much as you want your C-Arm to work perfectly from the day you get it to the day you replace it, the reality is that a C-Arm is a machine and machines break. The severity of the issue will vary, but your response to getting it fixed should stay the same. 

There are so many options in the world today. Should you get Verizon, AT&T or Sprint cell phone service? Should you buy an iPhone or a Samsung cell phone? PC or Mac computer? You can spend hours reading up on all your options in life but when 
push comes to shove, any of these options will fulfill your needs. The same is the case for C-Arms. Is an OEC any better than a Philips or Siemens C-Arm? Or Ziehm for that matter? I'm sure there are people on both sides of the argument. So let’s look at the question 'what C-Arm should I buy?' from a different perspective...

Here at Atlantis Worldwide, we sell a lot of C-Arms. We sell so many that the sales cycle is second nature to us. We know what we need to do to make sure your C-Arm is ready for clinical use. Our customers, however, don't buy C-Arms nearly as often as we sell them. So it is completely understandable if you don't know exactly what you need to do in order to prepare your facility for your new C-Arm. 

Earlier this year I wrote a post discussing flat screen monitors for C-Arms, but would like to add some valuable information. 

We all know the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words." We decided to apply that expression towards a topic we know a lot about; refurbishing C-Arms. As much as we talk about refurbishing C-Arms and how important it is to make sure the refurbishment is done the right way, seeing is believing. Having said that, we have taken pictures of the entire process for you to see:

Any clinic, hospital or practice providing imaging studies knows that times are changing, when it comes to reimbursement. It all started when The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, was voted into law in 2015 and affect payments for imaging studies in 2018.
