Year-End Tax Strategy: Consider Purchasing Needed Equipment

If you are a practice owner in need of new equipment that will increase your ability to make more money in the future, consider purchasing items and having them placed in service by December 31, 2025.
TechSelect is an excellent resource for AAO members who are shopping for equipment in several key categories. You can explore evaluation criteria from the Committee on Technology (CTECH), compare products side-by-side, and save money by locking in the lowest available price. Learn more at techselect.aaoinfo.org.

The MSO is seeking candidates to represent the constituent at the upcoming AAO 2026 Leadership Development Conference (LDC) later this winter in Phoenix, Arizona.

This conference, which precedes the AAO Winter Conference, is a one-day conference that includes custom-developed learning opportunities, a keynote speaker and networking. Breakfast, lunch and a cocktail reception are included. The goal of the conference is to give each participant a high level AAO experience that will provide the opportunity to connect with leadership and become more involved with the AAO by connecting with other leaders from across the country.

The LDC will be held Thursday, January 22, 2026 at the JW Marriott in Phoenix. Each constituent is allocated a number of slots and the MSO currently has a few slots still available. This is an invitation-only conference and precedes the AAO Winter Conference (a discount to attend the Winter Conference is also offered). The AAO will cover a large portion of your LDC travel expenses through a submitted expense report within 30 days of the conference.
If you are interested, please reach out to MSO Executive Director Gwen Berlekamp directly (gwen@assnoffices.com) by November 1st. Residents are encouraged to apply.

As an AAO member, you have exclusive access to two AAO Endorsed Partnerships that can help with merchant services for your practice.

Electronic payment processing provider OrthoPayment specializes in integration with practice software, while cost-reduction firm Merchant Cost Consulting helps practices reduce credit card processing fees.
Although they operate within the same industry, each company’s business model meets different needs for AAO member practices.

And as part of the AAO’s endorsement agreement, OrthoPayment and Merchant Cost Consulting will each refer members to the other organization if the member’s needs are better served by the other firm’s services. So no matter who you contact, you’ll end up with the Endorsed Partner who fits your needs.

Merchant Cost Consulting website: https://merchantcostconsulting.com/partners/aao/
Learn more about all AAO Endorsed Partners here.
