Why should you register for MyMedicare?

MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to strengthen the relationship between patients and their main general practice and doctor and primary care teams.

Why it is important 

MyMedicare patients will have access to: 

Greater continuity of care with your Amtan Medical Centre and Doctor who is focused on improving health outcomes within the Community. 

MyMedicare practices will have access to: 

• More information about regular patients, making it easier to tailor services to fit the patient’s needs. • Your Amtan Medical Centre will support regular health assessments, care plans and regular GP  visits. 

• To support better care in the community for people with complex, chronic diseases who frequently attend hospitals.  

• Chronic Disease Management -to support continuity of care for people with chronic and complex conditions. Patients who are not registered in MyMedicare will still be able to receive Chronic Disease  Management items from their usual GP. 

• MyMedicare-linked long telehealth services. 

• Provide care to people in residential aged care.
