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.
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
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.
Every line is included. No add-ons.
There are no upgrade tiers, no surprise invoices, and no "premium" features held behind a paywall. The 4.5% covers the work — start to finish.

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.
| DIY / In-house admin | Other billing services | Fast Tracking | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who collects your weekly lists? | You | You — sent in weekly | We do — direct from the rooms |
| Your weekly time on admin | 8–10+ hours | 2–4 hours | Less than 2 hours |
| True annual cost | $80–110k+ (salary, super, leave, training) | Often hidden — quoted on request | 4.5% of collections + GST. Published. |
| Setup fees | Recruitment, training | Often $1,000+ | $0 |
| Lock-in contract | N/A | Typically 12 months | None — leave any time |
| Coverage during illness or leave | You cover it | Varies | Whole team covers — no gaps |
| CPD & audit support | Your responsibility | Often extra | Included |
Why they switched. Why they stayed.
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

by design.
Not by accident.
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.
