If you’re a radiology leader deciding how much uncertainty your department can tolerate, this breakdown is for you. Learn the difference between preventative maintenance-only coverage and full-service contracts for radiology equipment. We think that at the end of the day, service strategy is more of a risk decision than a budget decision. Preventative maintenance can lower monthly costs, but the provider takes on the financial burden when major failures happen. Full service typically includes maintenance, parts, labor, and travel, reducing surprise expenses and downtime risk. The right choice will depend on your equipment usage, clinical importance, and your organization’s ability to absorb repair costs.
