Strong Life Billing – Your One-Stop Billing & Practice Management Partner

Running a medical practice in Pretoria is challenging enough without drowning in paperwork. If you’re a doctor or practice manager, you know how time-consuming medical billing and admin can be. Wouldn’t it be great to offload those tasks and focus on patient care instead? SLB – officially Strong Life Billing and Practice Management – offers exactly that: a one-stop solution for medical billing services plus virtual administrative support, all at competitive prices designed for practices in Pretoria, South Africa.

In this blog post, we’ll explore SLB’s core offerings, from their professional billing services to virtual assistance, highlight their competitive pricing, and see how these features make SLB stand out from other providers. Let’s dive in!

Comprehensive Medical Billing & Claim Services

At the heart of SLB’s offerings is a robust medical billing and claims management service. This isn’t just basic invoice filing – it’s an end-to-end billing solution that ensures every claim is handled promptly and correctly. SLB’s team manages all Medical Aid claims, submitting them to the relevant medical aid schemes or directly to patients on your behalf. Once you sign up, you’re set up on an online billing platform and every day you simply upload your treatment codes – SLB takes it from there. They handle the entire billing workflow: from filing clean claims within 24–48 hours of service, to reviewing aged-debt reports for unpaid accounts, and allocating incoming payments to the right patient accounts.

Importantly, SLB directly engages with medical aids on behalf of your practice. They utilize advanced software like Elixir Live, which provides live electronic data interchange (EDI) feedback and always keeps ICD-10 codes up-to-date. This reduces rejections and ensures your practice gets paid as quickly as possible.

Your Virtual Administrator & Receptionist – Included!

SLB doesn’t stop at billing – they also act as your virtual administrator/receptionist. You get professional front-office support without hiring extra staff. SLB manages appointment scheduling through their online portal and by phone, sends automated reminders, and handles patient queries—just as an in-house receptionist would. All of this administrative support is included as part of SLB’s Practice Management package at no extra charge.

Full Practice Management Suite (More Than Just Billing)

SLB is marketed as a comprehensive Practice Management partner. Services include:

• Medical Practice Registrations: SLB assists with registering your practice with all relevant medical aids (R1,400 once-off).
• Ongoing Practice Management: Daily operations support at R4,000/month – waived if monthly income exceeds R60,000.
• Debt Collecting: Ethical follow-ups on overdue accounts included in the 7% billing fee.
• IOD Claims: Handling Injury on Duty submissions and collections on request.

They also provide weekly summary reports of your billing activity and appointment metrics so you stay informed without compiling the data yourself.

Competitive Pricing & Transparent Value

SLB’s core medical billing service is just a 7% fee on all funds allocated to your practice. This performance-based fee aligns their incentives with yours and includes all follow-ups and debt collection—no surprise add-ons. Practice management support is R4,000/month (waived for higher revenue practices), and practice registration is a one-time R1,400.

Why SLB Stands Out in Pretoria

Local, Family-Owned Business: Founded by Ina and Frans Strydom in 2025, SLB is rooted in the Pretoria healthcare community and understands local medical aid systems.

Focus on Patients, Leave the Rest to SLB

By combining professional billing, practice management, and virtual assistance into one affordable package, SLB enables doctors and staff to reclaim their time and peace of mind. Imagine walking in each day knowing billing is handled, reminders are sent, and claims are already processed. That’s the kind of support SLB provides—so you can focus on delivering excellent patient care.
