Southern States Imaging
Providing New and Remanufactured Medical Imaging Devices

Medicare recipients comprise roughly 40 percent of all hospitalized patients, and any cuts in Medicare reimbursements can have significant impacts on revenues for patient care services. In order to maintain their operational stability and quality of service, hospitals are trying to reduce their medical equipment expenditure. Considering the prominence of imaging devices in healthcare and their high costs, a shift to remanufactured imaging equipment is helping them deal with economic disruptions without compromising the standard of care.

Southern States Imaging (SSI) has become a go-to provider of high-quality, fully-refurbished medical imaging devices for many leading hospitals. SSI’s wide spectrum of devices includes MRI and CT scanners, X-Ray, surgical devices, medical CRMs, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound devices. The company also resells equipment for mammography and radiography.

SSI ensures that client hospitals and healthcare centers are equipped with the medical devices they need at cost-effective rates. SSI’s expert engineers work with clients to implement the imaging equipment, while fully-fledged sales and service teams across the U.S. assure timely consultation and maintenance services post-sale.

“We have dealerships to sell a diverse range of new equipment, but our specialty is in fully-refurbished MRI and CT. We procure them predominantly from Siemens, GE, and Phillips trade desks. Along with our products, our comprehensive services have also become important aspects of our business,” says Will Hengemuhle, president of Southern States Imaging.

SSI is always prompt in analyzing market demands, which makes them immune to disruptions like the pandemic. It receives the right line of credit from its equity partner to ensure timely inventory purchases to meet existing and future client needs, even on short notice.

Even when many prominent medical device manufacturers restrained themselves from producing devices to avoid capital risk during the pandemic, SSI delivered devices to many of Siemens and GE’s regular clients. This reliability places them a league above their competitors.

Prompt product delivery never impedes product quality. The devices are fully-refurbished as per the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards while using OEM-trained engineers.

SSI also works with their clients’ contractors and design teams during site visits to understand the nuances of installing the devices. They offer consultation regarding building the CT or MRI suite and putting the equipment into use. The immediate primary consultations are often through on-site visits and telephonic support. The multiple remote consultations are always followed by face-to-face visits to provide more efficient support and build customer relationships. SSI also has multiple relationships with attorneys to help clients with legal requirements, like a Certificate of Need (CON).

Refurbished medical devices are not just cost-effective but safe and quality-assured. Every fully-refurbished device goes through rigorous safety checks and quality standards, which makes it a safe choice to facilitate financial stability. Apart from SSI’s affordable and safe devices, their consultation and maintenance services and unmatched customer service put them ahead of their contemporaries and contribute to their continued success.
