For proceduralists & surgical assistants

A whole list, billed before you reach the carpark.

Scan the sticker, confirm the surgical items, send. Under a minute per case, a full list in under 15 minutes, and nothing goes back to the office to be lodged. FreshClaim orders the items, applies the Multiple Operation Rule, lodges the same day and follows each claim to payment for 2.85% of what you collect.

Our solution

Sent before you leave, and ours from there.

  1. 1

    Create a claim

    Scan a sticker, enter the surgical items, add referral details and any supporting information, and hit send. Under a minute per claim, and processing starts the moment we receive it.

  2. 2

    Followed to payment

    Follow the status of each claim as it progresses, while the month’s billing activity is summarised for easy bookkeeping.

  3. 3

    Known-gap and patient invoicing supported

    Send FreshClaim theatre lists with elected prepayment amounts for informed consent and prepayment invoicing.

The assistant difference

Assisted the operation? Same claim, plus one extra tap (select principal surgeon).

A surgical assistant’s claim is the same: under 10 seconds. The only difference is naming your principal; the working out that follows is ours.

FreshClaim derives the rest. Assistant eligibility is checked item by item, the Multiple Operation Rule total is computed, and your item and fee are set automatically: item 51300 below the threshold, item 51303 at 20% of the MOR total above it. No fee calculations. No errors.

Why doctors come to us

A story about one of our most recent customers.

Handing your claims to a billing service or to office staff, and still not being paid reliably, costs more than the fee. It costs you the work you did and were never paid for.

On our initial call, they complained their service was hard to get hold of, charged extra for data transcription, and gave back any failed claims for them to resolve, or charged a flat fee on top. Essentially, they were being charged to transmit their claim, as entered, to ECLIPSE. The billing work itself? Extra.

Five minutes with our onboarding expert, some paperwork to create new provider numbers and link bank accounts, and in two weeks they were submitting claims. So far, 47 claims lodged and 100% paid. Total time spent doing billing: around 10 minutes.
