How much does a medical equipment appraisal cost?

The cost to have a medical equipment item appraised varies based on the equipment type, intended use of the appraisal, and the scope of work required. For a single medical equipment item, pricing typically starts in the $295–$395 range for standard appraisal purposes such as insurance coverage, estate planning, or internal planning. More advanced assignments—such as those required for financing, IRS purposes, litigation, mergers and acquisitions, or asset-backed lending—generally start higher due to expanded research, market support, and reporting requirements.

Costs can also be influenced by equipment complexity, age, condition, documentation quality, and whether the appraisal is conducted remotely or onsite. For multiple items or larger inventories, pricing is often more cost-effective on a per-item basis. Most appraisal firms review asset details upfront and provide a fixed-fee quote before work begins.
