Practice Start-Up
Start out in practice with the right tools and services to make your day-to-day simpler.
Helping doctors get started in private practice the right way
When getting started in private practice, there are a multitude of decisions that need to be made. As a Doctor, you are trained to care for your patients but running your own small business might be a whole new world of administration and billing complexity that you haven’t prepared for.
Our Practice Start-up package offers key tools and services you’ll need to reduce the administration headache that comes with starting in private practice. From private billing strategies and registration with private health insurers, to streamlining the day-to-day management of patient administration with virtual administration and transcription services.
The Practice Start-up package also includes a special offer on Avant Finance establishment fees, giving you access to specialist medical finance advice. Avant Finance are specialists in financing for doctors, and as part of the Practice Start-up pack a special offer is available on establishment fees.
Our experienced Practice Management Consultant team will guide you through each step, ensuring you maximise the value for your new practice.
