Personal support, not just claim submission
Your fee pays for the work behind the claim.
Our premium service combines inpatient billing experience with careful preparation and ongoing administrative follow-up. You have a direct point of contact, rather than another task to manage yourself.
- Before lodgement: supplied service and provider details are reviewed, with missing information raised for clarification.
- After lodgement: claim responses are monitored and rejected or delayed items receive appropriate follow-up.
- At reconciliation: available payment information is checked against claims and unresolved items are identified.

Why Inpatient Is Different
More moving parts than a standard consult claim
Inpatient episodes can involve multiple services, Medicare, private health insurers and other payer arrangements depending on the circumstances.
The applicable claiming pathway, billing information, time limits and assessment requirements depend on the service, patient, provider and payer. Claims therefore need to be prepared and followed up against the rules that apply to the individual episode.
A dedicated inpatient billing workflow can help keep the administrative process organised while the treating practitioner remains responsible for the clinical services and billing information supplied or authorised.
What We Do
Four services, one focus
Everything we do is centred on inpatient billing administration. Explore our inpatient medical billing, private hospital billing, Medicare billing, rejected claim recovery and health fund registration services.

End-to-end billing administration for inpatient episodes — processing practitioner-supplied or authorised billing information, claim lodgement through applicable pathways, monitoring and follow-up.
Learn More →Health Fund Registration
Administrative support for provider-location details, health fund registration and applicable claiming setup. Registration and participation remain subject to the relevant organisations.
Learn More →Rejected Claim Recovery
We review available return information, investigate administrative issues and undertake appropriate follow-up or resubmission where applicable.
Learn More →Backlog Cleanup
We work through historical unbilled work systematically and identify episodes that can be progressed under the applicable claiming rules and time limits.
Learn More →How It Works
From billing information to follow-up in five steps
You send inpatient details securely. We manage billing in our own software. Payments go directly to your account.
Securely Send Inpatient Lists
Send your inpatient lists and relevant patient, provider and billing details using the secure transfer method agreed with DEVZ.
Administrative Review
We process the supplied MBS item, service and provider information and identify details that may require clarification before submission.
Secure Lodgement
We lodge eligible Medicare and private health insurance claims using our own secure, Medicare- and ECLIPSE-compliant billing software.
Assessment & Follow-up
We monitor available claim responses and follow up rejected, delayed or unresolved billing items administratively.
Reconciliation
Medicare and health funds pay directly into your nominated bank account. We reconcile claim outcomes and invoice the applicable 2.5% volume or 3.5% standard service fee plus GST separately.
Revenue Leakage
Billing issues can leave completed work unresolved
Revenue leakage can accumulate through incomplete billing information, rejected claims, missed follow-up and unresolved historical work.

- Rejected claims that were not appropriately followed up
- Unbilled inpatient episodes from previous months

FAQ
Common questions
Do you log into my practice’s software to do the billing?
No. DEVZ Solutions does not provide remote billing within your billing or patient-management software. We use our own secure, Medicare- and ECLIPSE-compliant billing software. You securely send us your inpatient lists and relevant billing details; you do not provide your software login.
How do I send my inpatient lists and billing details?
We agree the secure transfer method with you during onboarding. You then securely send us your inpatient lists and the relevant patient, provider, service and billing details. Please do not include patient information in public enquiry forms or general email or WhatsApp enquiries.
Do you support practices outside Melbourne?
Yes. Based in Melbourne, DEVZ Solutions serves specialists across Australia. You securely send us your inpatient details, and we bill using our own software without remotely accessing your practice systems.
How are your monthly service fees calculated?
Doctors with at least $20,000 of inpatient billings processed in a calendar month pay 2.5% plus GST on eligible billings for that month. Otherwise the rate is 3.5% plus GST. We invoice monthly; registration or onboarding assistance may incur a separately agreed fee.
Do you handle both Medicare and private health fund claims?
Yes. We prepare and lodge eligible Medicare and private health insurance claims using our own secure, Medicare- and ECLIPSE-compliant billing software, based on the inpatient details and billing instructions you securely supply.
How do I get paid — does money go through you first?
Medicare and health fund payments go directly to your nominated bank account. DEVZ does not receive, hold or pool your medical income.
Can you help me register with health funds?
Yes. We provide administrative health fund registration support. Registration, eligibility and participation decisions remain subject to the relevant insurer's requirements.
