Is Next Practice Sydney your Regular Clinic?
MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration model. It aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.
Seeing your GP regularly and formalising the relationship you have with your GP and general practice through MyMedicare may lead to better health outcomes.
Registering with MyMedicare provides benefits to patients, general practices, and healthcare providers. Registering with MyMedicare includes benefits such as:
- 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
To register in MyMedicare, patients must have a valid Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.
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.
Parents/guardians and children can be registered at the same practice if one of them is eligible and registered at the practice.
Patients can only be registered with one practice at a time.
