My Medicare
MyMedicare aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.
MyMedicare has been introduced as part of an ongoing commitment to strengthening Medicare for all Australians.
Evidence shows that seeing the same GP and healthcare team regularly leads to better health outcomes. Seeing your GP regularly and formalising the relationship you have with your GP and general practice through MyMedicare may lead to better health outcomes.
It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare.
When you register in MyMedicare, it will notify us that you have chosen us as your regular care team.
MyMedicare patients will have access to:
- greater continuity of care with your registered practice, improving health outcomes
- longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP
If you choose not to register in MyMedicare, you’ll still be able to access the same quality of care from your doctor at Ti Tree Family Doctors.
If you have a valid Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran card and have had two face-to-face consultations with us in the last 24 months, you are eligible for MyMedicare.
To register as a MyMedicare patient, you can:
- Fill out a paper registration form at our practice
- Via the Medicare app
OR
If you choose to register via the Medicare App, select the MyMedicare program then you will need to search for our practice –select Mount Eliza from the dropdown box and select Ti Tree Family Doctors.
