As 2025 draws to a close, healthcare organizations across the United States are reviewing budgets, planning investments, and exploring ways to improve operational efficiency. One valuable financial tool that can support these decisions is IRS Section 179, a tax incentive that allows eligible U.S. businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment placed into service during the tax year.
This provision is especially important for hospitals, clinics, and private practices looking to modernize their infrastructure while managing finances responsibly.
What is Section 179?
Section 179 of the IRS tax code enables eligible U.S. businesses to deduct up to $2,500,000 of qualifying equipment purchased and placed into service during the 2025 tax year.
While traditional depreciation spreads equipment cost over multiple years, Section 179 for healthcare offers an alternative: a full, immediate deduction. This approach improves cash flow and provides greater flexibility in year-end budgeting.
