Anaesthetic Practice Administration
Billing and Practice Administration for Private Anaesthetists
We manage your anaesthetic billing and practice administration. Our service suits anaesthetists starting private work, changing arrangements or continuing their practice.
The service
Billing and administration, managed
We handle patient fee communication and financial consent, the billing details you provide, account preparation and doctor approval, claims, payment follow-up and reporting. We tailor the service to your case mix, facilities and working preferences.
The billing process
How we handle your billing
We set up your billing instructions, prepare accounts for your approval, and follow each account through claims and payment.
Theatre list administration
We capture and organise theatre list details to support billing.
Fee communication and consent
We communicate your estimated fee and manage informed financial consent following your fee instructions and planned service.
Hospital stickers, item numbers and times
After each case, you provide the hospital stickers, item numbers and times we need to prepare your account. You can send these details through our Zentobox mobile app. We check the information and follow up any missing details with you.
Account preparation and approval
We prepare the account. You approve it before submission.
Claims
We submit approved accounts as claims to the relevant payer.
Payment follow up
We follow up unpaid accounts according to agreed billing and collection arrangements.
Reporting
We provide reports on billing and receipts. Standard and custom reporting can be discussed at setup.
Who we support
Starting, changing or continuing
We work with anaesthetists starting private work, changing administrative arrangements or continuing their practice.
Starting private work
We set up your billing alongside your facility relationships and theatre list arrangements.
Changing arrangements
If your case mix or working preferences change, we update your billing to match.
Leaving a group
We set up your independent anaesthetic practice with your own accounts, reporting and approval steps.
Continuing an existing practice
We support your current billing arrangements without a full rebuild.
Team management
A team managed by Zento
Our Operations Manager (Anaesthesia) supervises the team and follows the work through. We record your practice instructions, including your specialty and working preferences, and share them within the team. You can raise questions with the operations manager, who coordinates the response.
Clinical decisions and item number selection remain your responsibility. We manage the administrative tasks and follow through the billing process.
Patient feedback and CPD support
We provide an automated post-anaesthesia patient survey to support your CPD.
Agreeing your service
A clear agreement from the start
We agree the billing and practice administration you need before work begins. The service focuses on anaesthetic practice administration. Surgeon-style clinic management, active promotion to surgeons, AMA rate approval pursuit and ex gratia administration sit outside this service.
We agree the service details at setup. If your facilities, case mix or working preferences change, we update the service accordingly.
