The intelligence behind
exceptional anaesthetic practice.

Billumbra is an intelligent practice management platform purpose-built for anaesthetists. It brings your theatre lists, patients, clinical information, billing, payments and practice insights together in one connected app and web portal.

Billumbra is built specifically for anaesthetists and anaesthetic groups. Whether you are an independent anaesthetist or part of a group, Billumbra is designed around the workflows of anaesthetic private practice—not adapted from generic medical practice software.

That’s what Billumbra is designed to do. Theatre lists are ready in your calendar, patient information is available before you meet them, and billing can be completed in just a few taps. Information flows through the practice rather than needing to be repeatedly entered, emailed or chased.

Yes. Billumbra optimises your billing by pre-filling the most relevant item numbers and suggests additional item numbers based on your usual billing patterns, but you remain in control of the final billing decision for every case. Adding additional item numbers is simple and can be usually done with a few taps.

Billumbra removes delays between finishing a case, submitting an account and receiving payment. Efficient workflows mean accounts can be finalised and submitted sooner, while built-in item number compliance checks help minimise ECLIPSE rejections. Patients receive clear digital payment information, and automated reminders reduce the need for manual follow-up. More than 50% of post-paid patient accounts are paid on the day they’re received, and 75% within 48 hours. Bad debts are also reduced through clear, educational informed financial consent before the procedure, supported by structured follow-up and overdue account management when payment is outstanding.

No. Billumbra makes a good administration team more effective. It automates repetitive work, makes priorities visible and gives staff the information they need in one place—leaving them more time for the work that genuinely needs a person.

Absolutely. In fact, Billumbra was designed to help established anaesthetists and groups evolve the way their practices are managed. We support the transition from your existing practice management system, including setup, training and onboarding. Doctors can be onboarded quickly, while administration teams are supported throughout the change. For groups, Billumbra creates consistent workflows, shared visibility and practice-level insights, while individual anaesthetists retain control over their own cases and billing and benefit from greater transparency across their practice.

Billumbra was built to improve the experience of everyone involved in an anaesthetic practice — doctors, patients and administration teams. Every interaction, process and outcome was scrutinised and redesigned to create meaningful improvements over traditional anaesthetic practice software. The impact extends well beyond billing. In practice, list entry and informed financial consent workflows were 60–92% faster compared with the most widely used anaesthetic-specific software, while patient emails and phone calls fell by 30–40%. Staff also reported greater enjoyment of their work. For groups, these efficiencies translate into significant operational benefits. Existing teams can support more doctors and patients within the same working hours, while providing a higher standard of service. The result is a more productive practice, a better experience for doctors and patients, and a more satisfying environment for the people who run it.

Changing practice systems doesn’t need to mean months of disruption. We’ve designed Billumbra so doctors can be onboarded quickly and administration teams can learn a consistent, intuitive workflow. Experienced staff can be confidently importing theatre lists after around an hour of training, and comfortable with the full platform within a day or two. Our team supports your practice throughout setup, training and transition.

It’s much more than billing software. Billing and payments are part of Billumbra, but the platform connects the entire anaesthetic practice — from theatre lists and pre-operative patient engagement through clinical workflows, billing, payments and practice insights. We’ve also looked beyond administration to how technology can support better anaesthetic care. Billumbra helps patients prepare for their procedure by collecting relevant health information and providing tailored information and encouragement to improve their health before surgery. It then turns that information into clear, clinically relevant insights for the anaesthetist, highlighting important factors for anaesthetic planning and delivery.

Billumbra is a powerful practice management tool, but great software is only part of running a great practice. It is designed to work alongside experienced practice management staff, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to achieve the best possible results for doctors and their patients. For independent anaesthetists and smaller groups, Billumbra is available through Solo Practice Management, providing the platform together with an experienced Australian-based team to manage the administrative work that still benefits from human judgement and attention.

Yes. You can store clinical documents in each patients file, which are easily accessible to review from the app. Additionally, you can create your own clinical documents, such as pre-operative assessments and letters from the web portal.

Billumbra was designed by anaesthetists, for anaesthetic practice. It was developed alongside experienced practice-management staff who understand the day-to-day realities of running anaesthetic practices. That experience shapes how Billumbra works — from managing theatre lists and patient communication to billing, payments and practice insights. The result is software built around the way anaesthetists and their teams actually work, with a relentless focus on creating a better experience for doctors, patients and practice staff.
