Introducing MyMedicare
MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration system that aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams
By registering as a patient of your chosen general practice and selecting a preferred GP, additional funding will be available from the government to assist your primary care team to deliver the care you need.
Benefits in registering for MyMedicare:
•A formalised relationship with your general practice or GP, which has shown to improve health outcomes
•Longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP
•Incentive for longer telehealth consultations for children under 16 and Commonwealth Card Concession card holders
•More regular visits from your GP for people living in residential aged care homes
•Connections to more appropriate care
