Medical Billing Built Around Gastroenterology
Gastroenterologists working across private hospitals can generate billing across multiple patients, facilities, health funds and episodes of care. Keeping track of those claims can become a significant administrative responsibility, particularly for specialists working across more than one hospital or practice location.
DEVZ Solutions provides specialist medical billing support with a particular focus on inpatient billing.
We help organise the billing workflow from receiving the relevant billing information through to claim submission, payment reconciliation and appropriate follow-up. You can see the stages of that process in our how it works overview.
Rather than providing a generic administrative service, our billing workflow is designed around the requirements of Australian medical specialists.
Inpatient Billing for Gastroenterologists
Inpatient billing involves more than simply submitting a claim.
Each episode needs to be accurately recorded, processed and followed through the billing cycle. Missing information, incomplete records or unresolved claims can contribute to delays and unnecessary administrative work.
DEVZ Solutions provides an organised billing process designed to help gastroenterologists keep their inpatient billing moving.
Our billing support can include:
- Processing inpatient billing information
- Preparing claims for submission
- Medicare claiming
- Private health fund claiming
- ECLIPSE claiming where applicable
- Monitoring submitted claims
- Identifying rejected or unpaid claims
- Following up outstanding billing
- Payment reconciliation
- Maintaining an organised billing workflow
The objective is to provide specialists with a clear and consistent process rather than allowing billing administration to accumulate.
Medicare and Private Health Fund Billing
Australian specialist medical billing can involve Medicare and private health insurers, depending on the patient, service and billing arrangement.
DEVZ Solutions helps manage the administrative process associated with eligible specialist claims.
This includes preparing and submitting billing information through the appropriate claiming pathway and monitoring claims through the billing cycle.
Where ECLIPSE claiming is applicable, electronic claiming can form part of the workflow.
Billing requirements can vary according to the circumstances of an individual service, so claims should always be based on the correct clinical and billing information supplied by the practitioner.
No Gap and Known Gap Billing
Depending on the specialist's arrangements and the relevant insurer, some privately insured inpatient services may be billed under No Gap or Known Gap arrangements.
These arrangements can involve specific requirements established by individual health insurers.
DEVZ Solutions can assist with the administrative processing of billing according to the information and billing instructions provided by the specialist.
We do not determine clinical services or select MBS item numbers on behalf of practitioners. Billing remains based on the clinical services documented and authorised by the treating practitioner.
Reducing Billing Administration
For many specialists, the challenge is not providing the medical service. It is finding the time to complete all the administration that follows.
A busy gastroenterologist may work across consulting rooms, private hospitals and other clinical environments. Billing tasks can consequently be delayed until there is time available to process them.
An outsourced billing workflow can help create a consistent administrative process.
Instead of allowing billing information to accumulate, information can be processed systematically, claims can be monitored and unresolved items can be identified for follow-up.
This can give the specialist and practice greater visibility over the billing process without requiring the doctor to personally manage every administrative step.
Rejected and Unpaid Claims
Not every submitted claim proceeds through the billing cycle without requiring further attention.
Claims may require review because information is incomplete, additional information is required or the claim has not progressed as expected.
An important part of medical billing administration is therefore monitoring what happens after submission.
DEVZ Solutions can help identify rejected or outstanding claims and undertake appropriate administrative follow-up based on the information available.
This helps prevent unresolved claims from simply disappearing into an administrative backlog.
Billing Reconciliation
Submitting a claim is only one part of the billing process.
Reconciliation helps determine whether expected payments have been received and whether any billing items still require attention.
DEVZ Solutions incorporates reconciliation and follow-up into the billing workflow so outstanding items can be identified rather than relying only on claim submission.
Payments from Medicare, health funds or other relevant payers are made directly to the doctor's nominated account. DEVZ Solutions does not need to receive the doctor's medical income before passing it on.
Managing a Medical Billing Backlog
Billing backlogs can develop when specialists become busy, administrative staff change, information arrives from multiple locations or unresolved claims are not followed up promptly.
Over time, this can make the billing process increasingly difficult to manage.
DEVZ Solutions can assist practices and specialists in organising outstanding billing information and establishing a more consistent workflow for future billing.
The aim is not simply to process individual claims, but to help create a billing process that is easier to monitor and maintain.
Why Gastroenterologists Outsource Medical Billing
Outsourcing medical billing can reduce the amount of billing administration handled personally by a specialist or their practice team.
For a gastroenterologist, this can mean having a dedicated process for receiving billing information, processing claims, monitoring their progress and following up outstanding items.
It can also reduce dependence on finding time between clinical commitments to complete billing administration.
The specialist retains control over their clinical information and billing instructions while DEVZ Solutions manages the administrative billing workflow. Our outsourcing benefits guide explains this in more detail.

Medical Billing Support Across Australia
DEVZ Solutions provides medical billing support for Australian specialists.
You can also read more about our approach to Specialist Medical Billing Australia.
Because much of the modern medical billing process can be managed electronically, gastroenterologists do not necessarily need their billing provider to be located inside their consulting rooms.
This allows specialists to use a dedicated billing service while continuing to work across their existing hospitals and practice locations.
The same inpatient billing workflow also supports other proceduralists, including surgeon medical billing.
