02Calculator

Anaesthetic billing pricing calculator — see what you'd pay.

Anaesthetists in private practice in Australia bill anywhere from a few thousand to a hundred thousand a month, depending on lists, hospitals, and the mix of procedures. The fee scales with the work — never the other way around.

If you take a fortnight off, your fee that month drops with it. If you have a quiet quarter, you pay a quiet-quarter fee. We invoice on collected revenue only — what we've actually banked for you.

03The Difference

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

Most billing services

// 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.

04What's Included

05Comparison

Honestly compared against the alternatives.

An anaesthetist deciding what to do with billing has three real options. Here's how anaesthetic billing service pricing compares against in-house admin and DIY — in money, time, and risk. The deeper financial case — including the tax treatment, the cost of rejected claims, and what most anaesthetists actually save — is laid out in our piece on why outsourcing anaesthetic billing is smart.

06From Our Anaesthetists

Why they switched. Why they stayed.

"
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.

07A Note on Scale

Boutique by design.
Not by accident.

Anaesthetic billing service pricing — published openly, like a fountain-pen ledger
Anaesthetic billing service pricing — published, considered, written down.

That's deliberate. 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 on our roster has a dedicated account manager — a real person with the bandwidth to actually learn how they practise. 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.

When our long-standing clients say "they know my habits and those of our surgeons", that isn't a slogan. It's the operational reality of working with a service that's structured to remember.

If you're tired of being a number at a larger billing service — or tired of doing your own list-chasing — that's the difference you'll feel from week one.

Joining us
We take on new anaesthetists carefully. Most arrive by referral from a colleague already on the books — but we're always glad to talk with clinicians thinking about a switch. Get in touch for a no-obligation chat.

04

No setup fees, ever

Onboarding, PHI registration, training — all included. Your first invoice is the only one you'll see.

Do anaesthetic billing services charge GST on top of the 4.5% fee?
Yes. The headline rate is 4.5%, with 10% GST applied on top — so the effective rate is 4.95% of your collected revenue. The pricing table above shows the GST-inclusive figure so there are no surprises.
What happens if a claim is rejected — do I still pay you?
No. We charge 4.5% on collected revenue only. If a claim is rejected and we ultimately can't collect, you owe us nothing for that invoice. We handle the rejection management, resubmission, and follow-up on every claim until it's resolved one way or the other.
How does the cost of outsourcing anaesthetic billing compare to hiring a part-time admin?
A part-time medical billing admin in Australia typically costs $35–55/hour, plus 11.5% super, plus 4 weeks paid leave, plus training, plus the cost of errors. For an anaesthetist billing $100,000/month, a part-time admin (15–20 hours/week) usually costs $50,000–80,000/year. Outsourcing to Fast Tracking at the same volume costs $59,400/year all-in — and you get a whole team covering you, not one person who takes leave.
Is there a minimum monthly fee? What if my volume drops one month?
No minimum monthly fee. Your fee scales with your revenue. If you bill $100k one month and $40k the next, you pay 4.5% on each month's actual collections. You're never charged for billings you didn't earn.
Is there a lock-in contract or exit fee?
No lock-in contract, no exit fee. You can cancel any time. We don't believe lock-in contracts belong in anaesthetic billing — if we're not delivering, you should be free to leave. We'll hand over your records and outstanding-claim details cleanly.
Do you offer volume pricing for group practices?
Yes. Group practices billing more than approximately $200,000/month combined receive custom volume rates — typically below 4.5%. Group clients also receive a dedicated account manager and consolidated reporting across all anaesthetists.
How long does onboarding take?
Onboarding on our side takes 5–10 business days. That covers setting up your billing structure, submitting registration applications to each private health fund (if you're new to private practice), migrating any existing patient records, and walking you through the system. Health fund processing times vary independently — we'll keep you updated as each one comes through.
How do you get my operating lists each week — do I have to send them to you?
No — and this is one of the biggest differences between us and most other anaesthetic billing services in Australia. When you join us, you tell us which surgical rooms you work with. We contact each room, introduce ourselves, and build the relationship. From that point on, your lists come directly from the rooms to us — every week, automatically. You're never in the middle of that flow.
What if I'd prefer to send the lists in myself?
That's fine. A small number of our anaesthetists prefer to stay in the workflow themselves — usually because they like the visibility, or they have an existing system they don't want to change. The rooms-direct model is our default, not a requirement.
Will I lose any in-flight claims if I switch from another provider?
No. We handle migration of your in-flight claims as part of onboarding — at no cost. We work with your current provider's records to ensure every outstanding invoice continues to be tracked and collected. Most anaesthetists report zero gap in collections during the switch.
How is your service structured — is it personal or scaled?
Our roster is deliberately kept boutique. Every anaesthetist works with a dedicated account manager who learns their habits, their surgeons, and their patient flow over time — the kind of attention that mass-scale billing services structurally can't offer. We accept new anaesthetists at a measured pace each quarter to protect that standard.
Who actually does my billing — onshore or offshore?
Our team is 100% Australian-based, working out of our Bendigo, Victoria office. No part of your billing is offshored — every claim, patient query, and follow-up call is handled here. That matters for privacy (your patients' data stays under Australian Privacy Principles) and for quality (our staff understand the local funds and MBS coding inside-out).
Do you charge extra for chasing late payers, debt collection, or audit support?
No. Follow-up on unpaid invoices, rejection management, and audit preparation are all included in the 4.5% rate. In rare cases where a debt collection agency is required, we'll discuss the agency's fee with you before engaging — but our service fee never changes.
What does anaesthetic billing service pricing look like for a new private practice or low-volume anaesthetist?
The rate is 4.5% regardless of volume. There is no minimum monthly fee. If you're new to private practice we also include private health fund registration at no cost — saving hours of paperwork and ensuring you're set up correctly from day one. For an end-to-end primer on the technical side — base units, time units, ASA modifiers, IFC — see our complete guide on how to bill for anaesthetic services.
What if I don't think I'm getting value after a few months?
Tell us. We'll either fix what's not working or help you transition out cleanly with no exit fees. We'd rather lose a client than have one who's unhappy — your referrals to other anaesthetists are how we grow.
