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.

Why it is important?

MyMedicare patients will have access to:

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

There are 2 options to register QMSC as your regular practice and nominate your regular treating GP.

1.  Register using your Medicare Online account
2. Register using the Express Plus Medicare Mobile App
