We’re excited to announce that Pulse Medical, along with the doctors consulting from our clinic, will be participating in the MyMedicare program. You will be able to register with your GP from 1st October 2023.
The Australian Government has introduced significant changes to how individuals access services from their General Practitioners (GPs). If you frequently visit a doctor, have a long-term health condition, or have a young family, these changes are especially relevant to you.
What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a new, voluntary patient registration model to enhance the bond between you and your general practice, your GP, and your primary care teams.
MyMedicare is designed to improve continuity of care, allow you better access to your health and allow you to access Medicare rebates for longer telephone consultations. It will also allow higher bulk-billing incentives for children under 16 and concession card holders.
Registration with a practice will also help your GP look after you better if you are having to be admitted to hospitals frequently.
At its core, MyMedicare aims to fortify the relationship between you and your GPs. A familiar and trusted GP can significantly enhance the quality of care. It ensures safety, reduces potential errors, and offers a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s health.
How to register
You will be able to register for MyMedicare from 1st October 2023.
Once the program goes live, you will be able to register
- via your Medicare online services or
