Medical Billing Specialists for Australian Doctors
DEVZ Solutions is a team of dedicated medical billing specialists. We handle the complex, high-value claims that general administration is not built for — accurate MBS coding, dual-payer lodgement, and active recovery of rejected and unbilled work — so Australian specialists keep more of what they earn.
Billing that matches the complexity of specialist work
Specialist medicine generates specialist billing. A surgeon's theatre list, an anaesthetist's time-based units, a physician's multi-day inpatient attendances — each translates into item numbers and payer rules that a generalist process routinely gets wrong. As dedicated medical billing specialists, this complex work is precisely what we are built for.
The result is fewer rejections, faster payment, and a clear view of what has been billed and what is still outstanding. Nothing sits forgotten in a queue.
How specialists bill privately in Australia
When a specialist treats a private patient, claims are lodged with Medicare and — for admitted episodes — the patient's private health fund. The correct MBS item numbers must be chosen for each service, benefits from both payers reconciled, and payment tracked to the practitioner's own account. A dedicated billing specialist manages this end to end. Our guide to Medicare billing explains the mechanics in detail.
Specialties we support
- Surgeons — surgical episodes across multiple item numbers and health funds.
- Anaesthetists — accurate time-based unit billing to the correct payers.
- Gastroenterologists — endoscopy and colonoscopy billing done correctly.
- Physicians and proceduralists — complex admissions handled end to end.
- Locums — billing continuity across hospitals and placements.
What working with a billing specialist changes
Practices that move to a dedicated specialist typically see three things improve: rejection rates fall because claims are coded correctly the first time; cash flow steadies because lodgement is timely and follow-up is active; and administrative load drops because billing is no longer competing with clinical priorities. If claims have been slipping, our rejected claim recovery and backlog services address the historical gap while ongoing billing keeps the future clean.
Frequently asked questions
How do specialists bill privately in Australia?
By lodging claims with Medicare and, for admitted patients, the relevant health fund, using the correct MBS item numbers for each service. Payments go to the practitioner's nominated account. A billing service manages coding, lodgement and follow-up.
Why use a medical billing specialist rather than in-house admin?
Specialist billing involves multiple item numbers, multiple payers and strict timing. A dedicated specialist reduces rejections, recovers otherwise-lost revenue and removes the administrative burden.
Do you bill for more than one specialty at a time?
Yes. Group and multi-disciplinary practices are welcome — each practitioner's billing is handled to the same standard.
