For healthcare providers
Provider Services
We work with assistant surgeons to take the administration of patient accounts completely off their plate. If you are an assistant surgeon looking for a reliable billing partner, we would love to hear from you.
How it works
You forward your lists
After each operating session, you forward your surgical lists to us. We match these against the primary surgeon's billing to confirm item numbers and fees.
We prepare the accounts
We prepare itemised accounts for each patient, applying the correct Medicare item numbers and the standard 20% assistant surgeon fee.
We handle all patient contact
We send accounts, answer patient queries, lodge Medicare claims, and issue receipts — you don't need to be involved at all.
Payments go directly to you
Bank transfer payments go straight to your nominated account. We notify you of payments and keep records on your behalf.
