Fast Tracking is an Adelaide anaesthetic billing service for specialists in private practice — boutique by design, founded in 2013 by a practising anaesthetist. SA's anaesthetic community is the most interconnected of any mainland capital, and most Adelaide anaesthetists work both metro and regional SA lists. We collect your operating lists from every surgical room 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.
We contact every surgical room you work with — from Calvary Adelaide to St Andrew's to Burnside — and build the relationship ourselves. Your lists come to us automatically, every week. You're never the courier of your own data.
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.
Every Adelaide 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.
SA's private anaesthetic community is tightly knit. Reputation travels — including the standards of your administration.
Adelaide private practice has a longer group-practice tradition than Sydney or Melbourne. Many anaesthetists work through one of the established SA groups; others practise independently. Either way, the surgical rooms are concentrated — Calvary Adelaide and St Andrew's in the CBD, Calvary North Adelaide and the Memorial in North Adelaide, Burnside in the inner east, Flinders Private at Bedford Park, Ashford to the south. Most SA specialists work three to five of these in any given week, and add Stirling, Calvary Central Districts, or a regional list in the same fortnight.
Most billing services solve this by asking the anaesthetist to email or upload their lists each week. We solve it by doing the work ourselves. When you join us, you tell us which Adelaide 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. The coordination stops being your problem.
The Adelaide anaesthetists we look after work across the major private hospitals and day surgery centres in metropolitan SA, including:
If you work somewhere we don't yet cover, we'll build the relationship with that surgical room before your first list. That's part of the service — not an extra.
Most boutique anaesthetic billing services concentrate on the capital cities. Regional SA anaesthetists — in Mount Gambier, Whyalla, Berri, Murray Bridge, Victor Harbor, Port Lincoln, the Riverland, Ceduna, Kangaroo Island — are typically left choosing between a national agency that processes them through a queue, or doing the billing themselves. Neither is the right answer for a specialist practice.
Most of the SA anaesthetists we look after split their work between metro Adelaide and at least one regional centre — and we'd like to broaden our regional SA work further. The service is identical to what we provide in Adelaide — direct relationships with your surgical rooms, a dedicated account manager who learns how you practise, the same 4.5% all-inclusive rate. The only difference is which surgical rooms we'd be building relationships with on your behalf.
If you're an anaesthetist in private practice in the South-East, the Riverland, the Mid North, the Eyre Peninsula, the Yorke Peninsula, the Fleurieu, or the Limestone Coast — we'd genuinely like to talk.
Most billing services run on a queue: claims go in, claims come out, nobody knows your practice. Fast Tracking runs differently. Every Adelaide anaesthetist we look after has a dedicated account manager — a real person with the time and training to actually learn how they practise. Which surgeons they cover. Which Adelaide rooms run late. Which patients are repeat. Which regional list runs once a month.
Our account managers are medical-billing specialists, not generalists. They train specifically on anaesthetic MBS coding, time-based items, modifiers, DVA and PHI claim handling, 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.
Your administration reflects you. The standards your patients see before they meet you are the standards they'll attribute to you.
Our 4.5% all-inclusive rate covers the entire anaesthetic billing workflow. There are no upgrade tiers, no setup fees, and no surprise invoices.
Most Adelaide anaesthetists who switch to us have come from one of three places: an in-house admin team at a group practice, a smaller SA operator, or one of the larger national agencies. Here's how the day-to-day differs.
If you're currently with another billing service in Adelaide — whether that's an in-house admin team at a group practice, a smaller SA operator, or one of the larger national agencies — we handle the migration entirely. You give us a single point of contact at your current provider; we coordinate the transfer of your patient records, Informed Financial Consents, and any in-flight claims.
Most anaesthetists are fully migrated within five business days, with zero gap in collections. Free migration is included as standard. There's no setup fee for switching, and no minimum term once you're on board.
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.
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.
Send us a message. We'll show you what your Adelaide 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.
