Thank you in advance for your consideration.
I manage an imaging center that is part of a JV between the rads and the hospital. One of the partners has asked me for some comparative metrics to other imaging centers. I have explained that an apples to apples comparison would be difficult to find because of the many variables that exist between any two centers. [Hours and days of operation, number of modalities, where in the purchase cycle a facility might be, etc]. I am certain though, there are some basic standards that might apply across the industry. I have a meeting next week to share my findings, so literally any info, or comments on the following expenses would be greatly appreciated. It can be an range of a percent compared to revenue [personnel expense to patient fees], or a basic standard amount [contracted reading fees are 'X' percent of income]. We are a basic center and we do:
- MRI, CT, US, Mammography including tomo, ABUS, Bone Density, X-ray,biopsies and fluro.
The 5 expenses I am interested in are:
- Personnel Expense [Admin, technical or overall];
- Reading fee arrangements [including management fee if it applies];
- Supply expenses;
- Interest expense, and;
- maintenance and/or equipment expense.
Your response will be kept confidential. Feel free to reach out to me separately at
