Interventional Radiology — Tools, Calculators, and Tax/Investing Resources for Physicians
ASC ownership is the highest-leverage move IR docs miss.
Interventional radiology has the cleanest path to office-based lab (OBL) ownership in medicine — outpatient migration is structural, payer rates support it, and ownership returns rival institutional private equity. Here's the rate data, the proforma, the advisory path, and the IR-specific tools (dictation, anticoagulation, coding, prep) built for operating interventional radiologists.
Built by a practicing physician-investor. All tools free unless badged otherwise.

Talk to Us →Tax & Finance Angles for Interventional Radiology
Specialty-specific tax and investing topics that apply directly to Interventional Radiology practice economics. Not generic 'physician tax tips' — these are calibrated to your specialty's actual income mix, equipment requirements, and practice ownership reality.
-
Section 179 + Bonus Depreciation on Heavy Equipment
Buying an angio suite, MRI, CT, or PET scanner? Section 179 allows immediate expensing up to $1.16 million (2024); bonus depreciation captures 60% of the rest in year one. Drastically reduces taxable practice income.
-
Qualified Business Income Phase-Out + Equipment Leasing Entity
As a Specified Service Trade or Business, your 20% QBI deduction phases out above $383,900 married filing jointly (2024). A separate equipment-leasing entity can sometimes capture QBI on the leasing income — IRS rules are strict, talk to a physician-focused CPA before structuring.
-
Imaging Center Real Estate (PropCo)
Own the imaging suite real estate through a separate LLC. Lease back to the practice. Cost segregation accelerates depreciation against the partnership distribution income from imaging volume.
-
Investment Interest Expense
Borrowing for imaging equipment or a center buy-in generates investment interest expense deductible against your partnership distribution income.
Universal Physician Tax Strategies
These apply across most specialties — high earners in any clinical field benefit.
-
The SALT Deduction Cap & Where You Buy Real Estate
The state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap of $10,000 is one of the most consequential decisions for physicians in California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Tied directly to where you buy a primary residence vs. invest in real estate out-of-state for depreciation.
-
Charitable Bunching & Donor-Advised Funds
The 2017 tax reform doubled the standard deduction and made annual charitable giving less tax-efficient for most. Bunch 3 to 5 years of giving into a single year via a Donor-Advised Fund to clear the itemization threshold and maximize the deduction.
-
Investment Interest Expense Deduction
Borrowing to fund a real estate syndication, surgery center buy-in, or other partnership-distribution generator? The interest may qualify as deductible investment interest expense against passive income — often missed.
These are educational summaries, not tax advice. Specialty-specific structures interact with your overall income, state, partnership terms, and personal situation — work with a physician-focused CPA before structuring. Find a CPA →
