Explore the Zentobox App
Your entire practice workflow in one app
Zentobox is a complete practice management app built specifically for anaesthetists in private practice. From list visibility to post-op surveys, it simplifies and connects every part of the workflow. The Zentobox app is integrated with the Zentobox Software, which our support team uses to manage and action your entire back-office process. Every interaction in the app seamlessly hands off to real human support behind the scenes, so that all the admin just happens without the back and forth.
Zentobox consolidates all my billing, scheduling, and patient information into one organised place. Instead of dealing with stacks of papers and manual updates, I can see everything at a glance. The system also automatically updates and corrects entries, which significantly reduces the chances of errors.

I had expanded my private practice and was paying a secretary to do my billing, but was still dealing with the hassle of incorrect bills and phone calls from patients. That’s when I decided to engage Zento. Since then, it has been smooth sailing, with Zento taking care of all my admin, and quickly and easily dealing with any billing problems. As a result, very little of my time is spent on admin now.

I joined Zento at the end of 2024. Before that, I used a virtual office for my billing. Since joining Zento, I now know what I have missed in the past few years. The service they offer makes my life so much easier. Everything happens smoothly in the background, my calendar is organised, patients quoted, and questionnaires are sent. Questions are answered and feedback collected. I do not regret changing over. It was an extremely easy and effortless process.

Affordable Pricing, No Surprises
Full service. Low fee. Zero surprises.
When I started in private practice, I was completely overwhelmed by the billing side of things, which initially made me reluctant to take on too much private work. Zento has significantly relieved that burden for me, sorting out my billing and admin issues, and providing prompt and friendly advice/assistance when I require it. I’m paid with minimal delay, and I have really appreciated the feedback I receive from patients via the feedback surveys sent out by Zento.

FAQs Section
Q: Can I use Zento for just one or two lists a month?
Yes. We support both full-time and ad-hoc private anaesthetists. You only pay our infrastructure fee + a low percentage on what you collect.
Q: Can you bill retrospectively if I’ve already done a private list?Your Title Goes Here
Yes, in many cases we can. If you’ve already provided informed financial consent (IFC) and you are registered with the patient’s fund, we can usually process the claim. Just make sure your provider number and credentialing were valid at the time of the list.
Q: I’m already registered with health funds. Do I need to re-do anything?
No, we’ll simply notify the funds that Zento is now your billing provider.
Q: Will I need to talk to patients about money?
No. Your Zento Admin Team handles all billing conversations, estimates, and payments using your practice branding.
Q: How quickly can you get started?
We can usually get you set up and fully operational within a day or two.
Q: How fast will I get paid?
Most anaesthetists get paid within 4 business days of submitting a list, often sooner.
Q: Can I try the system before committing?
Yes. Our Patient Survey Module is free and gives you access to the Zentobox App. No other setup required.

“Zento is an outstanding practice management and billing service that set up my private practice as a new consultant a few years ago and the whole process couldn’t be easier for me!
Their billing system is simple, quick and transparent and their fees are amongst the lowest. They also help my practice by sending out patient questionnaires, facilitating my CPD and organising social events, just to mention a few!
I highly recommend their services to anyone in the medical field seeking guidance and support in launching a successful private practice or looking to streamline their billing process to save time and money.”

“I had expanded my private practice and was paying a secretary to do my billing, but was still dealing with the hassle of incorrect bills and phone calls from patients. I decided I needed to take myself out of the equation completely, and found out about Zento from colleagues. Since then it has been smooth sailing, with Zento taking care of all my admin, and quickly and easily dealing with any billing problems. As a result, very little of my time is spent on admin now.”
Brian Morrow, Anaesthetist
“I found billing a nightmare – so much so that it was stopping me from doing private work. I heard that Zento provided a solution, and it revolutionised everything. The setup process was very straightforward, and now, they do all my admin – sending off the bills, checking they’ve been paid, chasing unpaid bills. I’m very happy with the service, and I would definitely recommend them to another anaesthetist.”
Helen Daly, Anaesthetist
“Coming from Europe, I was unfamiliar with the process of billing patients when I set up my private practice in Australia. Zento knew what they were doing when I came on board, and made the preparation of the paperwork a smooth experience. Now, I can tell patients that fees will be dealt with by another party, leaving my relationship with them positive. So many things have been taken off my plate, and if I don’t have to spend time preparing invoices, I’m happy!”
Thomas Ledowski, Anaesthetist
“I avoided private work because I was uncomfortable with gaining informed financial consent and didn’t have the mechanism to be able to charge a gap. I didn’t want to have the ‘money’ conversation with my patients, but when the opportunity to work with a private surgeon arose, I had to figure out a solution. After speaking with Ben, I knew Zento was the right service to fix my problems. Now I spend less than 30 minutes a month on financial admin for my private work, and talking about money with my patients is seldom required.”
Perth-based Anaesthetist
“Since I joined Zento I have been able to focus on what I’m good at which is giving anaesthetics rather than billing, chasing up bad debts, providing quotes. I was terrible at it! Ben’s team has always been very helpful and professional. Service fees have decreased! I’m very happy.”
Leah , Anaesthetist
“Has made my anaesthetic billing a breeze. Quick, reliable, efficient and highly transparent. My only regret is that I didn’t change to Zento years ago.”
Steve, Anaesthetist
“When commencing private practice there was a large learning curve in terms of the various health funds and their differences in terms of billing and rebates. Zento took away all of the stress associated with this so I could focus purely on caring for my patients. In addition, they took responsibility for other key issues such as provider numbers and accreditation at the various hospitals I wanted to work at.”
Nolan McDonnell, Anaesthetist
“They are professional, efficient and take a huge administrative burden off.”

“Zento helps me concentrate on my core job: looking after patients.”

“Huge burden lifted from my shoulders. Zento takes all of the admin load.”
Perth-based anaesthetist
“Since using their service I am consistently impressed by the level of service and attention to detail offered by the Zento team.
Knowing that my administration, reception and PA services are taken care of allows me to focus on my patients, my clinical activities and building up my practice.”
Perth-based cardiologist
“As a new Fellow I had no experience in how a practice is run let alone set up and I wanted to start my own practice. The Zento group have taken my idea and made it a reality. They are available, and thorough. They take time to understand what you need and work with you to achieve those goals realistically and practically. I am especially impressed by how they work hard at facilitating my vision for my practice.”
