Much like other healthcare businesses, radiology practices always remain profitable and are completely immune from negative changes in the economy. People are going to need to have diagnostic treatments as well as treatments for cancer. Most radiology practices provide both cancer treatment services as well as diagnostic radiology. It should be noted that the barriers to entry for a new radiology practice is extremely high given that he a number of licensed medical professionals need to be on staff in order to render the services. Within the United States, it is very difficult to become a radiologist and as such these professionals enjoy a very strong level of security as it relates to both their jobs as well as radiology practices they may own. Generally, the startup costs for a new radiology practice range anywhere from $1.5 million to $10 million depending on whether or not real estate is purchased as well as the equipment being purchased. Banks, financial institutions, as well as investors love to place money with new radiology practices given their highly immune revenue streams coupled with their large tangible asset base. Additionally, the fees associated with providing radiology services across the entire spectrum are extremely high. One of the common trends within this industry is to offer interventional radiology as part of their service offering.

A business plan that is specific for radiology practice should, again, focus substantially on the fact that they are immune from poor economic conditions. The business plan should also have a profit and loss statement, cash flow analysis, breakeven analysis, balance sheet, and the business ratios page.

Again, if you’re looking to raise capital for your radiology practice that it is imperative that you have this type of financial model in place in order for the bank to render a lending decision.

Relating to the radiology practice marketing plan, this does not have nearly the same importance as the business plan. This is primarily due to the fact that radiology practices receive their business from referrals of primary care physicians as well as specialized physicians that need to have certain diagnostic services performed. As such, prior to the launch of a new radiology practice many entrepreneurs as well as physician-owners will frequently just inform local hospitals, physicians, surgeons, and allied health professionals of the business’s location and its opening date in order to generate revenues from the onset of operations. However, it is also important to maintain a strong online presence so that potential patients can find the business easily and understand what services are rendered at the facility.

A SWOT analysis is often conducted as well for radiology practice to determine economic viability. Relating to strengths, radiology practice is always able to remain profitable and cash flow positive provided is running correctly. Pertaining to weaknesses, these businesses have extremely high operating costs given the level of skill required by staff to render the services. However, this is ameliorated by the very large fees associated with rendering radiology focused services. As it relates to opportunities, most owners of radiology practices will usually establish additional locations in order to cover a much larger area of service. As well, many of these businesses will hire additional staff radiologist in order to increase the billings of the business. One of the ongoing threats faced by this business as well as any other healthcare focused business is the fact that there is continued uncertainty relating to private insurance reimbursement as well as reimbursement from publicly funded health systems. This is just one of the ongoing issues that will need to be dealt with as time progresses.

In closing, radiology practices can be extremely profitable and lucrative enterprises provided that costs are kept in check and that they are staffed primarily by physician owners. At no time will the demand for these services decline especially given that a number of Americans are moving into their senior years.
