title: How to optimize an equipment leasing program.
abstract: To enable their organizations to get the most value from an equipment leasing contract, healthcare finance executives should: Be aware of "yield enhancers" that could result in unnecessary expenses for the organization (including advance fee requests, restocking fees, and conditions related to contract renewals) Know how to incorporate value-added services as part of contracts (such as asset tracking, memory scrubbing, and equipment disposal) Thoroughly understand the master lease agreements and schedules and be prepared to negotiate, if possible, cross-default language that links to other indebtedness or material contracts
