Financial Benefits for Critical Access Hospitals

Non Profit | For Profit | Critical Access | Lease Options | Financial Benefits

The Wellness Patient Room is considered to be Equipment by the IRS and as a result, has a weighted useful life, for tax purposes only, of 10.4 years. What does this mean for your Critical Access Hospital?

That means you have financing options.

If you are working with the USDA, HUD or a Traditional Bank Loan, you can depreciate your patient rooms using an accelerated schedule-10 years with ours as opposed to 25-39 with traditional stick built construction. As a CAH, depreciation of equipment is an allowable cost on your ECR, and therefore, you can recoup much of your construction costs in 10 years.

Trying to lease? You can lease patient rooms with our Wellness Patient Room package and that lease payment, too, is an allowable cost on your ECR.

Those are just the financial benefits, though. The end result is a hospital that is safer, with greater staff efficiency, better doctors and nurses, and ultimately, happier, healthier patients. Our creative financing options empower your Critical Access Hospital to compete with the big city hospitals and encourage your community to stay home for quality medical care.
