For anaesthetic groups

Central administration across every provider in the group

A group is not several private practices sharing a logo. It is one operation with shared staff, shared policy and shared exposure — and billing has to work that way.

Commercial model

Anaemate Groups — fixed fee per doctor

The per-doctor fee depends on the size of the group and the configuration required, and is quoted following a consultation.

The situation

Groups accumulate billing practice rather than design it. Each doctor arrives with their own preferences, their own fee positions and their own history with a billing agent. Administration absorbs the difference.

The result is that administrative workload scales with the number of doctors rather than with the volume of work, and no one can answer a question about group performance without assembling it by hand from several sources.

The objective is not to force every provider onto identical settings. It is to hold a consistent policy and a single operational picture while still allowing legitimate variation between doctors.

A shared group environment

Anaemate Groups provides a dedicated environment for the group, with the mobile app for doctors and an administration web portal for staff. Providers, users and permissions are administered centrally.

  • Dedicated group environment
  • Mobile app for doctors, web portal for administration
  • Central provider number and user administration

Group policy, doctor-level preferences

Billing rules can be held as group policy while still allowing individual doctors' billing preferences within it — so standardisation does not require every provider to bill identically.

  • Group-level billing policy
  • Doctor-specific billing preferences
  • Consistent application across providers

Work allocation and handover

Advanced alerts and automation include handover functions, so work moves between staff without being held in one person's inbox or memory.

  • Advanced alerts and automation
  • Handover between billing staff
  • Work visible across the team rather than per person

Claiming across the group

Support for all ECLIPSE claim types, alongside workers' compensation, DVA and defence claims, and public-in-private claiming.

  • All ECLIPSE claim types
  • Workers’ compensation, DVA and defence
  • Public-in-private claiming

Payments and banking structure

Groups can be configured with dedicated bank accounts or with a per-doctor setup, depending on how the group distributes income.

  • Dedicated group bank accounts, or
  • Per-doctor account configuration
  • Automated SMS and email to patients

Group and doctor-level reporting

Advanced billing reports cover the group, while doctors retain a view of their own earnings, hourly rate and outstanding accounts. The Insights analytics tool is included.

  • Advanced group billing reports
  • Doctor-level earnings and hourly rate
  • Outstanding accounts across the group
  • Anaemate Insights included

Onboarding a new doctor

Adding a provider is a configuration step — provider number, permissions, billing preferences and communication templates — rather than a new relationship with a billing agent.

Governance and audit

Roles and permissions determine who can see financial data and who can change billing policy, and administrative changes are retained as history.

  • Role-based permissions
  • Separation of clinical and financial access
  • Audit history of administrative change

By role

What each person in the group is actually asking

A director, a practice manager, a billing team member and an individual doctor are evaluating different things. All four have to be satisfied.

Group directors

Whether the group's financial position is visible and whether policy is actually being followed.

  • Group-level reporting alongside doctor-level detail
  • Consistent billing policy across providers
  • Audit history of who changed what
  • Administrative load that does not scale one-for-one with headcount

Practice managers

Whether the operation runs without depending on one person holding it together.

  • Central administration of providers, users and permissions
  • Templates so communications do not depend on individual drafting
  • Handover functions so work is not stranded in an inbox
  • Reconciliation, BAS and end-of-year reporting

Billing teams

Whether the daily work is structured or reactive.

  • Cases arrive captured rather than as emailed lists
  • Exceptions and rejections surfaced as work queues
  • Outstanding accounts followed up systematically
  • Unlimited support on the Groups tier

Individual group members

Whether joining a group means losing sight of their own billing.

  • Their own earnings, hourly rate and outstanding accounts
  • Their own billing preferences within group policy
  • Capture from their own phone in theatre
  • Billing progress visible without asking administration
