As you may be aware, the government has recently formed a new healthcare initiative called MyMedicare. This initiative aims to deliver stronger relationships between patients and their General Practitioner through a voluntary patient registration system.
MyMedicare has benefits for both the patient and their practice, such as:
-
Additional funding from the government to assist your primary care team in delivering the care you need
-
A formal relationship bond with you and your GP, which has shown to improve health outcomes
-
Access to longer telehealth consultations
-
Aged Care Incentives
Additionally, further registration benefits for patients will continue to be added in future.
As your long-term trusted family medical practice, we are aiming to notify and register as many of our loyal patients as possible. This important government initiative will allow us to continue to provide you with the highest quality healthcare.
At Northbridge Medical Practice, you will have access to a variety of registration options, making the registration process simple and straight forward. If you register to our practice, please know you are free to change that registration at any time to another practice or GP if you wish.
Register now through:
