MyMedicare
MyMedicare is Australia’s voluntary patient registration model. It aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner and primary care teams.
Practices registered to MyMedicare can access:
- more information about regular patients, making it easier to tailor services to fit the patient’s needs
- new, longer telehealth items (497kb pdf) linked to MyMedicare, including:
- 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
- the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive (GPACI)
- Chronic Disease Management items linked to a patient’s registration in MyMedicare, from 1 July 2025
- Patients who remain unregistered in MyMedicare will still be able to receive Chronic Disease Management items from their usual GP.
