[ Billing ]

Billing as a service, for both sides of the table.

MySurgAssist is a billing agent. We bill for assistants whether or not their list came through us, and we bill for surgeons as a comprehensive service in its own right. Two fees, nothing hidden.

[ For Assistants ]
5%
plus GST, of your fee
Every case you assist, billed and chased by us, paid to you fortnightly.
[ For Surgeons ]
2%
plus GST, of billings
A comprehensive billing service for your practice, run by people who bill surgery every day.
[ For Assistants ]

Every case billed. Paid fortnightly.

MSA is your billing agent for every list you assist, whether or not it came through us. 5% plus GST of your fee, and nothing is added to the surgeon’s side.

[ What We Bill ]
MBS and AMA item numbers, health funds, WorkCover, CTP, hourly rates, precollected fees and known gap invoices. Every form of payment a list can generate.
[ Where Money Comes From ]
Health Funds and Medicare. Patient Gap Payments. Precollected Surgical Assistant Fees. Surgical Assistant Top Up Fees. Precollected fees and top ups come to MSA in the first instance, then to you.
[ When You Are Paid ]
Disbursed fortnightly. Quarterly and EOFY statements provided, so tax time is a download.
[ Chasing ]
We chase outstanding invoices so you do not have to. Higher Loyalty Programme tiers are chased first.
[ To Start ]
A provider number not linked to another billing agent, or a new one set up with MSA. An ABN. A bank account. Set up in the app.
[ Already Assisting Elsewhere ]

Bring your external work. We bill it the same way, and billing external assisting through MSA is one route to Gold in the Loyalty Programme.

BILL THROUGH MSA
[ For Surgeons ]

Your billing, run by people who bill surgery every day.

A comprehensive billing service for your practice, for 2% plus GST of billings, run by the same team that bills every assistant case.

[ What Is Covered ]
Item numbers, health funds, Medicare and ECLIPSE, WorkCover and CTP, gap and known gap invoicing, and the chasing and reconciliation that comes with all of it.
[ Your Patients ]
Your patients see no change. The fee comes out of billings, never added to the patient’s account.
[ Reporting ]
A statement with every payment run, and quarterly and EOFY statements for your accountant.
[ To Start ]
Your provider numbers, your ABN and the bank account you want paid. Email admin@mysurgassist.com.au and we set the rest up with you.
[ If You Only Use Us For Assistants ]

Nothing about your billing changes. MSA bills the assistant’s fee, not yours. A No Gap list stays No Gap and a practice that precollects keeps precollecting.

[ How A Case Flows ]

From theatre to the account.

The same four stages for every case, whoever we are billing for.

01
The case is done

The list is recorded in the app: cases, items, the financial arrangement.

02
We invoice

To the health fund, Medicare, the insurer or the patient, in the right form for each.

03
We chase

Rejections corrected, gaps followed up, outstanding invoices pursued.

04
You are paid

Disbursed to your account, with a statement that shows every line.

[ Questions ]

The things people ask about billing.

Do I have to take lists through MSA to use the billing?

No. Billing is a service on its own. Assistants bring external work, and surgeons can use it whether or not they recruit through us.

What does it cost?

5% plus GST of the assistant’s fee. 2% plus GST of billings for surgeons. Nothing else.

How often am I paid?

Fortnightly. Quarterly and EOFY statements are provided.

What about WorkCover and CTP?

Covered. So are hourly rates, precollected fees and known gap invoices.

Can I keep my provider number?

Yes, as long as it is not linked to another billing agent. If it is, a new one can be set up with MSA.
