MyMedicare
North St Ives Medical is registered with MyMedicare
Benefits
It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare.
When you register in MyMedicare, it will notify your general practice that you have chosen them 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 healthcare providers.
How to register
There are multiple ways you can register with your chosen practice in MyMedicare:
Start the registration process in your Medicare Online Account or Express Plus Medicare Mobile app. Check that your practice is registered in MyMedicare before you start. Practice staff will then accept the registration in the MyMedicare system.
Your practice may start the registration in MyMedicare or you can ask them to do this. This will trigger a registration in your Medicare Online Account or Express Plus Medicare Mobile app, which you can then complete.
Fill out a registration form and provide it to your practice. By signing the form, you are giving consent to participate in MyMedicare. Practice staff will then complete the registration in the MyMedicare system.
As part of your MyMedicare registration, you can choose to provide additional information about you. This will help your practice, primary care team and the government improve the delivery of your health care. We will share this information with your MyMedicare practice.
The information you provide will help your practice and the government to plan and improve your health care services. You will still be able to register if you do not provide this information.
