What can specialist medical billing support cover?

Start with the complete billing pathway

A useful billing discussion begins with the full pathway rather than a single claim. For a specialist practice, that pathway can run from transition and claim lodgement through receivables, reconciliation and monthly reporting.

IATRIKI BILLING supports specialist doctors, surgeons and surgical assistants. The verified service scope includes inpatient billing, Medicare batch and bulk billing, Eclipse, private health fund billing, DVA, TAC and WorkCover billing.

Claims administration is one control point

Claim lodgement needs an agreed workflow, clear practice-level information and a way to identify the next action when an item does not progress as expected. The public website should never be used to send patient, clinical, Medicare, provider or system-access information.

• Agree which billing categories are in scope.
• Clarify how practice-level information will enter the workflow.
• Define how exceptions and incomplete items will be followed up.
• Keep sensitive information inside the approved operational channel, not ordinary public enquiry forms.

Receivables, reconciliation and reporting complete the picture

Receipting, private invoicing and accounts receivable follow-up help keep open items visible. Payment reconciliation connects billing activity with received payments and unresolved exceptions. Monthly reporting then gives the practice a concise view of the period.

The correct service mix depends on the practice. IATRIKI BILLING uses consultation-only pricing and reviews the relevant billing mix, workflow and any backlog before providing a private proposal.

Know the service boundary

IATRIKI BILLING does not offer practice setup assistance, appointment management or telephone answering. Medical bookkeeping, privacy and quality audits can be discussed as separate service areas, but they are excluded from the six-month discounted categories in the New Client Transition Package.
