Fast Tracking has been doing my anaesthetic billing for the last ten years. They are very organised and efficient and get it done without any stress or hassle. They are up to date with technology and are always available. They go out of the way often by doing more than necessary to make patients comfortable.Dr Diwakara Madina FANZCA10 years with Fast Tracking
Anaesthetic Billing Service —
we handle the surgical rooms, the patients, and the chasing.
We collect your operating lists from the surgical rooms ourselves, every week. We answer your patients' pre-op questions on your behalf. We chase unpaid invoices, manage rejections, and follow every claim until it's resolved.
You stay in theatre. We do the rest.
What our anaesthetic billing service takes off your desk.
Direct from the surgical rooms.
We collect your operating lists from your surgical rooms ourselves — every week, automatically. You're never the courier of your own data.
One transparent rate.
We charge 4.5%, plus GST, on revenue we successfully collect. No setup fees, no exit fees, no software charges. The full anaesthetic billing service pricing is published on the next page.
A real account manager.
Every anaesthetist we look after has a dedicated account manager who learns how they practise. The kind of attention that mass-scale anaesthetic billing services structurally can't offer.
The admin most billing services quietly hand back to you.
Why our anaesthetic billing service is structured differently to every other in Australia.
Most billing services quietly hand the work back to you. We don't. We deal with your surgical rooms — directly.
Most billing services
- Collect weekly operating lists from surgical rooms
- Email or upload the lists to your service each week
- Chase the rooms when a list is late or changes
- Re-send corrections when patients are added or removed
- Brief a new admin person every time a room changes software
Fast Tracking
- Nothing — we already have your lists
- Nothing — they come direct from the rooms
- Nothing — we manage that relationship
- Nothing — rooms tell us, we update
- Nothing — that's our job
How it works. When you join us, you tell us which surgical rooms you work with. We contact each one, introduce ourselves, and build the relationship. From that point on, your lists come directly to us — every week, automatically.
Prefer to send the lists in yourself? You can. A few of our anaesthetists do — it's their choice, never a requirement.
"They know my habits and those of our surgeons, thus foresees many of the hurdles."Dr D. Brouwer FANZCA
A team built around the Account Manager model.
Most billing services run on a queue: claims go in, claims come out, nobody knows your practice. Fast Tracking runs differently. Every anaesthetist we look after has a dedicated Account Manager — a real person with the time and training to actually learn how you practise. Which surgeons you cover. Which rooms run late. Which patients are repeats.
Our Account Managers are medical-billing specialists, not generalists. They train specifically on anaesthetic MBS coding, time-based items, modifiers, and the quirks of how individual health funds process anaesthetic claims. Over 99% of our claims are accepted on first submission — the result of competence, not luck.
Founded in 2013 by Dr Brad Hindson, a specialist anaesthetist in private practice, Fast Tracking is structured to deliver the kind of attention a clinician would want for their own billing. Small enough that the team knows your practice. Large enough that you're never reliant on one person.
"Your administration reflects you. The standards your patients see before they meet you are the standards they'll attribute to you."Dr Brad Hindson · Founder, FANZCA
Boutique by design.
Not by accident.
Why the best anaesthetic billing service for you may be the smallest one you can find.
Maintaining direct relationships with every surgical room our anaesthetists work with takes time, attention, and follow-through. A larger billing service can't do it — that's why most of them push the list-collection back to the doctor. We can do it because we've chosen not to scale past the point where personal service breaks down.
Every anaesthetist we look after has a dedicated account manager — a real person with the bandwidth to actually learn how that anaesthetist practises. Which surgeons they cover. Which rooms run late. Which patients are repeat. The kind of detail that makes a billing service feel like part of the practice, rather than a vendor of it.
What's included in our anaesthetic billing service rate.
Our 4.5% all-inclusive rate covers the entire anaesthetic billing workflow. There are no upgrade tiers, no setup fees, and no surprise invoices.

An anaesthetic billing service for Australian anaesthetists, nationwide.
Fast Tracking provides anaesthetic billing services to specialist anaesthetists across Australia. Our team is based in Bendigo, Victoria, and we work remotely with anaesthetists in private practice in every capital city — collecting operating lists from their surgical rooms, managing patient pre-op communication, and following every claim through Medicare and the private health funds until it's resolved.
Whether you're billing from a single hospital or rotating across multiple sites, the service is the same — direct, considered, boutique by design. Looking for a Sydney anaesthetic billing service? A Melbourne anaesthetic billing service? A Brisbane anaesthetic billing service? We cover all of them. Anaesthetists searching for Perth anaesthetic billing, Adelaide anaesthetic billing, or Hobart anaesthetic billing will find dedicated city pages with local detail below.

Anaesthetic billing services for every stage of practice.
Anaesthetists at different stages of practice need different things from a billing service. The 4.5% rate doesn't change. What changes is how we onboard you.
New to private practice
We'll register you with every major private health fund at no cost, set up your billing structure, and walk you through your first month line-by-line.
Established solo anaesthetist
Already in private practice with another billing service? We'll migrate your patient records, IFCs, and in-flight claims at no cost — typically within five business days.
Group practice
For groups billing over $200,000/month combined, we offer custom volume rates, a dedicated account manager, and consolidated reporting across all anaesthetists.
How does Fast Tracking actually work, day to day?
A short walkthrough of how we handle the patient journey from pre-op to payment — while you stay in theatre.
What does a boutique anaesthetic billing service actually do?
How is your anaesthetic billing service different from larger companies?
Do you cover anaesthetic billing in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart?
What does anaesthetic billing cost in Australia?
How do I switch from my current anaesthetic billing service?
The four reasons anaesthetists hesitate to switch billing services — answered.
You won't. We migrate every outstanding claim from your current provider as part of onboarding, at no cost. Most anaesthetists report zero gap in collections during the switch.
You won't be. No lock-in contract. No exit fee. No notice-period games. If we're not delivering, you should be free to leave.
You won't. We charge 4.5% on collected revenue only. If we can't collect, we don't bill you.
You won't get them. No setup fees, no software charges, no audit fees, no debt-collection markup. The only invoice you'll see is the monthly fee on what we collected.
Ready when you are.
Send us a message. We'll show you what your billing would look like with Fast Tracking — at no cost, no obligation, and no high-pressure sales process. You'll talk to a real person, not a sales agent.
