Discuss Your Billing

We bill in our software, not yours

DEVZ Solutions uses its own secure, Medicare- and ECLIPSE-compliant billing software to process Medicare and private health insurance claims. You securely send us your inpatient lists and the relevant patient, service and billing details using the transfer method agreed during onboarding.

We do not remotely log in to, or perform billing within, your practice's billing or patient-management software. Medicare and health fund payments go directly to your nominated bank account. DEVZ does not receive, hold or pool your medical income.

Nephrology and recurring inpatient care

Nephrologists may see complex admitted patients over multiple days. Initial and subsequent specialist or consultant physician services must be billed according to the actual attendance and current MBS requirements, including referral and recognition rules where applicable.

End-of-day hospital round workflow

For nephrologists visiting one or several hospitals, securely sending completed service information at the end of the day can separate clinical work from billing administration. DEVZ can prepare eligible claims, lodge them, reconcile responses and follow rejected or unpaid claims.

Details that support clean claims

Patient identity, date and hospital of service, provider number, referral details where required, service information and private health fund details should be accurate. Services Australia notes that provider numbers are specific to places of practice.

ECLIPSE for inpatient medical claims

ECLIPSE supports Simplified Billing and patient claims for in-patient services. This makes it particularly relevant to consultant physicians working with private admitted patients.

Regional and remote hospital work

DEVZ can support specialists working nationally, including metropolitan, regional and remote locations, provided the relevant provider, patient and service information supports the claim.
