Section 179 for 2025

For medical professionals, the decision to invest in new technology isn’t just about clinical innovation; it’s about timing. With the expanded 2025 Section 179 deduction, that timing couldn’t be better.

Under Federal Bill H.R. 1, Section 179 has been significantly enhanced. Not only has the deduction limit doubled to $2.5 million, but the phase-out threshold has also increased to $4 million, and 100% bonus depreciation has been reinstated. This tax code establishes the most advantageous program in recent history for investing in medical equipment for your practice.

Whether you’re considering investing in a Radial Pressure Wave, Focused Shockwave, or EMTT device, Section 179 enables you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the same year it’s acquired.

The result?

  • Immediate savings
  • Accelerated ROI
  • Improved patient care

What Is Section 179 and Why It Matters to Medical Professionals

Section 179 of the IRS tax code is a government incentive that encourages businesses to invest in themselves by purchasing advanced capital equipment, including medical equipment or technology that advances patient care and facilitates practice growth. Instead of depreciating the asset over several years, you can deduct 100% of the cost in the year it’s put into use.

This incentive applies to newly purchased equipment, even if it is financed, as long as the devices are placed in service before the end of the year (by December 31, 2025).

For healthcare providers, this means modernizing your continuum of care with less financial strain. The ability to fully expense investments from the outset, which allows you to focus on what matters most, delivering optimal outcomes for patients.

Section 179 for 2025:  What’s New This Year

With the immediate financial impact and tax advantages of the updated Section 179 parameters, medical practices have a unique opportunity to leverage generous financial benefits, making this the most powerful year yet to take advantage of the Section 179 deduction. This exceptional tax allowance means you can upgrade, expand, and improve your practice while maximizing financial savings on essential purchases.

Here’s what’s changed under the new legislation:

  • Deduction limit doubled to $2.5 million
  • Phase-out threshold raised to $4 million
  • 100% bonus depreciation reinstated
In short, qualifying businesses can write off more equipment, faster. For physicians and medical professionals considering capital investments, such as Shockwave and EMTT devices from CuraMedix and powered by STORZ Medical, this means immediate cost reduction and enhanced financial flexibility. It further enables clinics to free up cash for other practice needs.
 

ROI Example:

 

Potential Tax Savings

Medical Device: $50,000

Deduction: $50,000

Tax savings: (assuming 35% tax bracket) $17,500


Cost of Equipment After Tax Savings: $32,500

Consult your tax advisor for eligibility.

 

Who Qualifies for the Section 179 

Deduction

Section 179 applies to most business entities, including medical practices and clinics, whether they are sole proprietors, partnerships, or corporations, as long as the qualifying assets are used for business purposes more than 50% of the time.

You can take advantage of the deduction whether you purchase or finance your equipment. Capital Equipment Finance Agreements qualify, allowing you to make minimal payments in 2025 while still writing off up to $2.5 million of the purchase price.

For independent physicians, group practices, or extensive healthcare facilities, Section 179 levels the playing field, stimulating growth potential through wise, strategic investment.

How Section 179 Accelerates ROI and Practice Growth

Section 179 does more than reduce your tax burden; it enables you to scale. By freeing up cash flow, you can reinvest those savings into other areas of your practice, such as:

  • Staff training on new technologies
  • Marketing and patient education
  • Facility upgrades and patient experience enhancements

When paired with CuraMedix technologies, Section 179 becomes a pathway to financial savings and an unmatched opportunity to bring patient care to new heights.

EPAT and ESWT enable clinicians to treat musculoskeletal pain, tendinopathies, and soft tissue conditions non-invasively, while EMTT expands regenerative possibilities for chronic pain and mobility issues. All of these devices are highly complementary, and it’s an ideal time to consider the full suite of devices.

CuraMedix Advantage:

In other words, Section 179 helps you save now, and CuraMedix partners with practices to help you deliver better results long-term.

Section 179 in Action: Real Numbers, Real Impact

Let’s put the numbers into perspective.

If your medical practice invests $100,000 in new medical devices from CuraMedix, your potential tax savings could reach $35,000, assuming a 35% tax rate. Your actual after-tax investment? Just $65,000, while gaining the ability to deliver cutting-edge, evidence-based regenerative care.

These impressive savings directly impact your bottom line and set your practice apart in an increasingly competitive medical landscape.

Why Act Now — The Year-End Deadline Matters

To qualify for the 2025 deduction, your equipment must be purchased and placed in service by December 31, 2025.

This means that delivery, installation, setup, and clinical readiness must be completed by the end of the year.

Financed equipment also qualifies, allowing you to preserve working capital while still reaping the benefits of the full deduction. The earlier you act, the more control you have over scheduling, delivery, and implementation.
