MyMedicare
When you register in MyMedicare, it will notify your general practice that you have chosen them as your regular care team. Additional funding will be available from the government to enable you to access more care from your doctor and for your doctor to provide the care you need. MyMedicare patients will have access to:
-
greater continuity of care with your registered practice, improving health outcomes
-
longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP
-
triple bulk billing incentive for longer MBS telehealth consultations for children under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders, from 1 November 2023
-
more regular visits from your GP and better care planning for people living in a residential aged care home, from August 2024
-
connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people who visit hospital frequently, from mid-2024.
-
Further registration benefits for patients will continue to be added as part of the government's commitment to strengthening Medicare.
