01Where You Are

Anaesthetic billing services for every stage of practice.

Anaesthetists at different stages of practice need different things from a billing service. The service is the same; what changes is how we set you up.

i.

New to private practice

We register you with the health funds, set up Eclipse, DVA and WorkCover, and can set up your practice phone number, website and email.

No setup fees. No minimum monthly fee.
Starting Out Guide → Why outsource? →
ii.

Switching billers

Pick a cut-over date. Your old biller finishes its own claims; we bill everything from your first list with us.

How switching works — nothing billed twice.

iii.

Group practice

One process across your group, with each anaesthetist reported individually. Custom rate, typically below 4.5%.

Groups over about $200,000/month in collections.

02What We Do

What our anaesthetic billing service takes off your desk.

i.

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.

ii.

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.

iii.

A real account manager.

Every anaesthetist we look after has a named Account Manager who learns how they practise. Someone who knows your surgeons, your rooms and your preferences.

03The Difference

The admin many billing services quietly hand back to you.

Why our anaesthetic billing service is structured the way it is.

Many billing services quietly hand the work back to you. We don't. We deal with your surgical rooms — directly.

Billers that don't collect lists

// What they ask of you
  • 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

// What we ask of you
  • 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.

04How We Work

A team built around the Account Manager model.

Erin Wilson (Practice Manager), Hannah O'Hanlon and Jamie Hamilton (Account Managers) at the Fast Tracking office in Bendigo
Some of the people behind your account. Erin Wilson (Practice Manager), Hannah O’Hanlon and Jamie Hamilton (Account Managers), at our Bendigo office — the people who collect your lists, review every claim before submission, and follow up rejections.

Many 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 named 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 anaesthetic-billing specialists, not generalists. They train specifically on quality-assurance review of every claim — catching missed modifiers, time-unit errors, and sequencing issues before submission — and on the quirks of how individual health funds process anaesthetic claims. That review layer, plus careful lodgement and weekly rejection follow-up, is what keeps your claims moving — competence, not luck.

Founded in 2018 by Dr Hindson, a practising specialist anaesthetist, 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.

Boutique by design, not by accident. Maintaining direct relationships with every surgical room our anaesthetists work with takes time, attention and follow-through. It is hard to do at scale, which is why many billing services leave list-collection with the doctor. We can do it because we've chosen not to scale past the point where personal service breaks down.

"Your administration reflects you. The standards your patients see before they meet you are the standards they'll attribute to you."
Dr Hindson  ·  Founder, MBBS FANZCA
Joining us
We keep our practice small on purpose. It's the reason the service stays this personal. Many anaesthetists come to us on a colleague's recommendation, but you don't need one. If you're thinking about switching, or setting up in private practice for the first time, send us a message, read how it works, or call (03) 5323 0275. No obligation, and you'll talk to a real person, not a salesperson.

07Where We Work

Anaesthetic billing 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 across Australia — 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. We have pages for anaesthetists in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart and regional Victoria, including our Melbourne anaesthetic billing service, and an overview of all the places we work.

08From Our Anaesthetists

What our anaesthetists say.

"
Excellent low cost anaesthetic billing and private practice service. All I have to worry about is providing the anaesthetic service (Fast Tracking does the rest of the billing, scheduling and communication with hospitals & surgeons rooms). Highly professional staff. With one short phone call any anaesthetist can easily setup their own private practice with minimal hassle and no setup costs. The online software is simple to use.
Dr Michael ChappellGoogle review
"
I've been using Fast Tracking Anaesthetic Billing Services for years and have always found them to be excellent — fast, accurate, and very reliable. Staff are friendly, easy to reach, helpful with queries, and handle client issues with professionalism. Highly recommended.
Dr Peter Ching8 years with Fast Tracking
"
I have been associated with Fast Tracking for over 3 years after deciding to establish my own anaesthetic practice in a rural area. Brad and his staff were incredibly helpful as I worked my way through a stressful and challenging process. Fast Tracking had solutions for the multiple problems a new practice faces, making the process of setting up a practice very easy. The fees for this professional care were below average practice costs and remained low for all my time with Fast Tracking. The feedback from my patients regarding the service provided by Fast Tracking staff was uniformly positive.

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?
We handle the workflow between your operating list and your bank deposit. We collect your lists from the surgical rooms each week, send Informed Financial Consent to patients seven days before surgery, raise invoices within 48 hours of receiving your MBS codes and times, lodge and reconcile Medicare, Eclipse, health fund, DVA and WorkCover claims, and follow up rejected claims weekly. The fee is 4.5% + GST of what we collect.
How is your anaesthetic billing service different from larger companies?
We are boutique by design. Keeping the practice small lets us maintain direct relationships with the surgical rooms our anaesthetists work with, so our anaesthetists don't have to collect their own operating lists. Each anaesthetist also has a named Account Manager in our Bendigo office.
Do you cover anaesthetic billing in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart?
Yes. Fast Tracking provides anaesthetic billing services to specialist anaesthetists across all Australian capital cities and regional centres. Our team is based in Bendigo, Victoria, and we work remotely with anaesthetists Australia-wide. We have dedicated anaesthetic billing pages for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Hobart with city-specific information.
What does anaesthetic billing cost in Australia?
Fast Tracking charges 4.5% of what we collect, plus GST (4.95% in total), invoiced monthly in arrears. There are no setup fees, exit fees, software charges or minimum monthly fee, no lock-in contract, and nothing is charged on rejected or uncollected claims. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
How do I switch from my current anaesthetic billing service?
Pick a cut-over date. Your previous biller keeps following up the claims it has already lodged; we bill everything from your first list with us, so nothing is billed twice. Ask your previous biller for final reports and keep portal access until those claims settle. There's no setup fee for switching. How switching works →
10Switching

The four reasons anaesthetists hesitate to switch billing services — answered.

01
"I don't want to lose in-flight claims."

No. Your previous biller remains responsible for the claims it lodged — ask them for final reports and keep portal access until those settle. We start from your first list with us. How switching works →

02
"I'm worried about being locked in."

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.

03
"I don't want to pay for a service that doesn't perform."

You won't. We charge 4.5% + GST of what we collect. Nothing is charged on rejected or uncollected claims.

04
"I don't want surprise fees down the line."

You won't get them. No setup fees, no software charges, no minimum monthly fee, no debt-collection markup. You receive one invoice a month: 4.5% + GST of what we collected the month before.
