As an anaesthetist in private practice, your time is one of your most valuable resources—both inside and outside the theatre. Balancing a demanding clinical workload with the responsibilities of managing your own business can quickly consume every available hour, leaving little room for the things that truly matter.
That’s where outsourcing comes in.
Delegating time-consuming but necessary tasks can free up hours in your week—hours you can reinvest in higher-value activities. Think about what you could gain by outsourcing just a few of the following
- House cleaning
- Laundry
- Meal preparation
- Taxes and accounting
- Private practice billing (now that’s a big one!)
Handing off these everyday tasks means more time for what really counts—whether that’s relaxing with your family, catching up on sleep, or finally learning how to play tennis! Whatever it is that brings you joy, freeing up your schedule allows you to actually enjoy it.
While we can’t fold your laundry or prep your meals, Solo Practice Management can take billing off your plate. We specialise in anaesthetic practice management, helping you minimise time spent on admin while maximising accuracy, cash flow, and compliance.
Outsourcing your administration and anaesthetic billing to Solo practice management isn’t just about offloading work—it’s a strategic decision to protect your most valuable resource: your time.
Why should I outsource my billing?
Here’s a few reasons why anaesthetists are outsourcing their private practice billing to Solo Practice Management:
- More time for patient care: Focus on your clinical work without being distracted by admin.
- Better work-life balance: Reclaim your evenings, weekends, and peace of mind.
- Faster cash flow: We manage submissions and follow-ups efficiently to get you paid promptly.
- Expert handling of complex cases: Private billing is a nuanced field—when things don’t go to plan, it can become a full-time job. We’re equipped to manage every detail, so you don’t have to.
- Reduced stress and fewer errors: Our experience reduces the risk of claim rejections, billing gaps, and missed revenue.
Solo has these covered:
- Quotes and providing patients with information.
- Patients will receive an introduction prior to their procedure, so they feel more informed and comfortable knowing all the information about their anaesthetist and anaesthetic procedure.
- Solo can reach out to your surgeons’ rooms to receive the theatre list prior to the procedure date to make this happen. An extensive amount of communication and planning that you don’t need to focus on prior to theatre!
- Patients will receive an introduction prior to their procedure, so they feel more informed and comfortable knowing all the information about their anaesthetist and anaesthetic procedure.
- IFC and prepayment.
- Thats right we will request IFC from all of your patients, so long as we have the patient information in advance. We will also collect prepayment when required! Our billing experts can help you discuss with you the scenarios prepayment is often used.
- Anaesthetic billing
- No-gap, gap, third party, Workcover and all other accounts – we handle it all!
- No accounts left behind
- We are very proud to have an industry-leading bad debt rate of just 0.03%. We will follow up unpaid accounts util you are satisfied.
- Monthly reports straight to you
- Don’t worry about chasing up reports on how many accounts you did, what payments you received or what is still owed – we will send that straight to you. Or better yet, straight to your accountant if they reach out with your permission. How’s that outsourcing!
These tasks are essential—but they don’t need to be done by you. When you’re constantly switching between clinical work and admin, it drains your focus, energy, and time. By outsourcing these tasks, you are essentially buying back your time and using it on high-value activities.
Are you getting the most value out of your time?
Working in private practice in Australia means you’re not just an anaesthetist; you’re also a business owner (go you!). Just because you are a business owner, doesn’t mean you need to run every part of that business yourself.
Outsourcing Solo Practice Management is about reclaiming your time so you can focus on your clinical work and activities that bring you joy.
After all, you didn’t go through a decade of training to become your own admin assistant.
Your time is best spent where your expertise lies. Let the rest be handled by someone who specialises in supporting professionals like you.
