Fee For Service
Preventative Maintenance Service Contract
The Fee For Service Program allows a Facility to opt for an annual or semi-annual contract for preventative maintenance instead of paying for maintenance services by the hour. Here are some advantages of choosing a long term contract versus paying by the hour.
- Cost Predictability: With a yearly contract, hospitals have a predictable and fixed cost for preventative maintenance services. This helps in budget planning as the hospital can allocate funds accordingly without the risk of unexpected expenses. It eliminates the uncertainty associated with hourly rates, which can vary depending on the service provider and the nature of the maintenance required.
- Cost Savings: Yearly contracts offer cost savings compared to paying for maintenance services on an hourly basis. Mst & Associates offers a range of discounts from 5 to 15% based on the amount of time paid for in advance(semi-annually, annually, and multi-annual) resulting in overall cost savings for the facility. By addressing maintenance needs proactively, hospitals can prevent more costly repairs or equipment failures that may arise from neglecting regular maintenance.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Yearly contracts for preventative maintenance can provide comprehensive coverage for a wide range of equipment: infusion pumps, defibrillators, monitors, surgical tables, hospital beds, and gurneys. This ensures that all necessary maintenance tasks are performed regularly, minimizing the risk of equipment breakdowns and disruptions to patient care.
- Priority Service and Response Time: Yearly contracts come with the benefit of priority service and faster response times. Schedules will be coordinated with the facility and laid out in advance to ensure preventative maintenance is done in a timely manner. This minimizes equipment downtime and helps hospitals maintain uninterrupted operations, especially for critical equipment.
- Expertise and Experience: Mst & Associates has specialized expertise and experience in maintaining healthcare equipment. We have in depth knowledge of the equipment’s requirements and can perform maintenance task efficiently and effectively. Engaging professionals with expertise in healthcare equipment maintenance can enhance the reliability and longevity of the equipment.
