How to register your practice and GPs for MyMedicare and make it easier to tailor services to fit the needs of your regular patients.

Patients can benefit from longer MBS-funded telephone calls (Levels C and D) with their usual general practice.
Triple bulk billing incentive
Patients under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders can receive a triple bulk billing incentive for longer MBS telehealth consultations (Levels C, D, and E).
Aged care incentive
Starting on 1 August 2024, practices can access the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive, supporting health assessments, care plans, and regular GP visits for residents of aged care homes.

Chronic disease management
MyMedicare-linked Chronic Disease Management items become available from November 2024 to support patients with chronic and complex conditions. Patients not registered in MyMedicare can still receive these items from their usual GP.
