What is My Medicare
MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration program that aims to formalise the relationship between patients and their healthcare providers.
Healthcare providers include your:
- General practice
- General practitioner / regular doctor
- Primary care teams
By registering as a patient of High Street Medical Clinic and selecting your preferred GP, additional funding will be available from the government to assist your primary care team in delivering the care you need.
Registering with MyMedicare is voluntary and free.
Registering for MyMedicare is a quick and simple process that offers benefits such as:
- Greater continuity of care with your doctor
- Longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP
- Improved health outcomes through formalised relationships
See the full list of benefits on the MyMedicare factsheet.
Eligibility. You’re eligible to register if you have:
- Medicare Card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card
- Had 2 or more face-to-face appointments at your regular practice in the past 24 months or one face-to-face visit for practices in remote locations
