General practice patient and receptionist

Boost your practice revenue with iXope

In general practice, time is tight and costs are rising. The ability to deliver more services in-house (without expanding overheads) can have a measurable impact on patient care and practice revenue.

iXope is designed to do just that. Compact and wireless, it enables you to perform routine skin, ear and eye examinations with a microscope plus ear toilet with microsuction and foreign body removal in your own clinic. 

The result? Better tools to deliver accurate diagnoses, provide high-quality care, and strengthen patient relationships. At the same time, iXope can help reduce unnecessary referrals, increase in-practice procedural income, and deliver a return on investment in as little as 5 months.

Think outside your current scope

Traditionally, delivering care across ENT, dermatology and ophthalmology required multiple devices – and often multiple referrals. 

iXope consolidates those tools into one cost-effective solution, combining:

At just $6,400, iXope replaces more than $30,000 worth of standalone equipment, while also enhancing mobility through portability and freeing up valuable space in your consulting room. 

Turn everyday presentations into practice revenue

With iXope, GPs can confidently deliver billable procedures previously referred to specialists:

  • Corneal foreign body removal — MBS Item 42644
    • Bulk billed: $64.85 per case
    • Private billing: Up to $140 per case
  • Microscopic ear inspection and toilet — MBS Item 41647
    • Bulk billed: $98.75 per case
    • Private billing: Up to $165 per case

Each in-clinic procedure generates income. It also improves patient care. Your patients benefit from timely treatment from a familiar, trusted practitioner rather than experiencing delayed care, expensive specialist treatment or a lengthy trip to the nearest emergency department. 

See how the numbers add up

Based on conservative estimates, just 7 microcroscopic ear procedures and 1 corneal foreign body removal per month can generate:

  • $2,712.85/year (bulk billed)
  • $5,783/year (privately billed).

When factoring in optimal usages and time-saving efficiencies through faster documentation and EMR integration, the total annual revenue rises to:

  1. $8,151.55 (bulk billed)
  2. $17,271 (privately billed).
