Health Care Equipment Leasing

By Carl Boccuti
September 26, 2012

Equipment leasing in the health care sector typically stands apart from leasing in other industries. This is a notable point even in stable times, but is especially important to acknowledge as the political and economic environment has provoked an out-of-the-ordinary shift in the U.S. health care market. Reviewing several major developing areas may provide a fuller picture of health care equipment leasing's recent past and lends insight into what lies ahead.

Federal health care reform is the obvious engine behind part of this shift. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), though upheld by the Supreme Court in June, has many lingering questions regarding its effects. By increasing the rolls of insured patients, the ACA could be considered a boon to doctors and hospitals via increased demand. In serving more patients, equipment needs may likely increase. Despite the market's expansion, the cost of implementing related regulatory overhauls could offset increased revenues.

“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
