Information about My Medicare 

The MyMedicare General Practice in Aged Care Incentive is a catalyst for a more robust and accessible aged care system, where telehealth plays a pivotal role in ensuring the wellbeing of our elderly population. 

My Medicare practices will have access to longer telehealth items (Levels C, D and E) linked to MyMedicare for children under 16, pensioners and concession card holders.
