MyMedicare – Voluntary Patient Registration

MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to strengthen the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.

Registration in MyMedicare is voluntary for patients, practices and providers and commenced on October 1^st 2023.

Why is Important?

MyMedicare patients will have access to:

• Greater continuity of care with their registered practice, improving health outcomes

• Longer MBS-funded telephone calls (Levels C and D) with their usual general practice

• Triple bulk billing incentive for longer MBS telehealth consultations (Levels C, D and E) for children under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders.

• Chronic Disease Management items will be linked to a patient’s registration in MyMedicare from November 2024, to support continuity of care for people with chronic and complex conditions.

Step one:

Our practice has set up a consent form through Hotdoc for you to fill in. You will receive access to this form when you next make an appointment or by email. If you have already signed this, please go to step two. If not click on the link and fill in the form.

MyMedicare /Registration for patients starting on the 1st of October 2023

Most patients will need to have 2 face-to-face visits recorded with the same practice in the previous 24 months to be eligible to register with that practice.

For patients registered with a practice in a remote location (in Modified Monash Model (MMM) 6 and 7 locations), this requirement is reduced to one face-to-face visit recorded at the same practice in the previous 24 months.

Parents/guardians and children can be registered at the same practice if one of them is eligible and registered at the practice.

Exemptions from all eligibility requirements will apply to people who are facing hardship including people experiencing domestic and family violence and/or homelessness. A trusted practice or GP will be able to help with direct registration in MyMedicare.
