What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a new, voluntary registration model that offers additional Medicare benefits to patients with a Medicare or DVA Veteran card. To access these benefits, you’ll need to register your preferred clinic with Medicare. If you’ve had two face-to-face visits with GPs at our clinic in the past 24 months, you’re eligible to register starting from 1 October 2023.
Benefits of Registering:
-
Cost: Registration is free and optional.
-
Enhanced Care: Registering helps strengthen your relationship with your preferred GP, leading to better ongoing care. While you can still visit other clinics, you’ll enjoy extra benefits at your registered home clinic.
-
Telehealth Services: Registered patients will have access to longer Medicare-funded telehealth consultations (over 20 minutes) with GPs at your home clinic, supported by a larger rebate.
-
Triple Bulk Billing Incentive: From 1 November, GPs at your home clinic may offer bulk billing incentives for children under 15, pensioners, and concession card holders, including longer telehealth consultations.
Important Notes:
-
Voluntary Registration: You are not required to register, but doing so ensures you receive extra Medicare benefits at your chosen clinic.
-
No Deadlines: Registration opens on 1 October 2023, with no set closing date.
-
One Clinic Only: You can only register with one clinic to strengthen the patient-GP relationship. However, children can be registered without needing two prior visits.
-
Children's Registration: Parents/guardians must register children under 14 in person. Teens aged 14-17 can register independently or with parental consent.
-
Flexibility: You can visit any clinic or doctor, but extra benefits are available only at your registered home clinic. You can also unregister anytime if you change your mind.
