What it takes
Hospital equipment is a technically demanding subset of our equipment and machinery appraisal services, and our appraisers bring direct knowledge of what moves its value:
Onsite and remote
Hospital equipment is often large, fixed in place, or dependent on operational context to assess accurately, so many engagements involve an onsite inspection. We complete remote appraisals where the file is sufficient:
We appraise hospital equipment across clinical, diagnostic, surgical, and support categories, for hospital systems, outpatient surgery centers, diagnostic imaging facilities, and physician groups.
Imaging and diagnostics
We appraise the diagnostic and laboratory equipment that a hospital's imaging and pathology departments depend on:
Surgical and critical care
We appraise the operating room, anesthesia, and intensive care monitoring equipment:
Support and infection control
We also appraise the sterilization, medication delivery, and biomedical support equipment found on every floor:
We serve hospital administrators, healthcare CFOs, private equity firms, bankruptcy trustees, estate attorneys, CPAs, and insurance professionals who require a credible, independent valuation of medical facility assets, and we also assist individual physicians, clinic owners, and donors.
Facilities and advisors
Hospital administrators, healthcare CFOs, and private equity firms acquiring or divesting clinical assets engage us alongside the bankruptcy trustees, estate attorneys, CPAs, and insurance professionals handling healthcare litigation or transactions.
Physicians and donors
We also assist individual physicians, outpatient clinic owners, and donors contributing surplus hospital equipment to qualifying nonprofit organizations.
What hospital equipment appraisal clients say we are known for
Across 16 published hospital equipment appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Affordable and reliable, with fast service and always responsive to my messages and questions. They delivered my appraisal on time without a glitch. 100% Recommended! I wouldn’t use anyone else for my business. Thank you, Joe — you’re great!
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
It is fair market value including installation and integration costs, one of several standards used for healthcare capital equipment alongside plain fair market value, replacement value for insurance, and orderly or forced liquidation value for distress or collateral scenarios. Matching the standard to the intended use is what keeps the opinion usable.
Because when equipment is contributed, leased, or sold between hospitals and providers who refer patients to one another, regulators expect pricing that reflects documented fair market value rather than disguised remuneration. Independent valuations support arm's-length lease rates, purchase prices, and in-kind equipment contributions.
No. Treating tax book value as appraisal value is a recognized error: book figures ignore functional and economic obsolescence and actual secondary-market evidence, and IRS examination guidance on medical practices expects market-based support for equipment values rather than depreciation schedules alone.
For litigation, complex multi-department facilities, and high-value assets. Desktop appraisals work well when asset registers, serial numbers, and service records are complete; field inspections verify existence, configuration, and condition in person where the stakes justify it.
Often not. Technological relevance, serviceability, and market demand reduce value even when equipment is physically sound, so older devices can carry sharply discounted values compared with newer generations. Comparables must also match model, configuration, software, and accessories, since stale or mismatched listings compound the error.
