MyMedicare

MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model. It aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner and primary care teams.

Seeing your GP regularly and formalising the relationship you have with your GP and general practice through MyMedicare can lead to better health outcomes. By registering as a patient of your chosen general practice and selecting a preferred GP, additional funding will be available from the government to assist your primary care team to deliver the care you need. It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare, and registration is open to Australians with a Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.

To register for MyMedicare using the Express Plus Medicare mobile app, you’ll need:

• to link your Medicare online account to myGov
• download the most up to date version of Express Plus Medicare mobile app
• your Medicare card.

To register using the app, follow the steps below:

• Log into the Medicare Express Medicare mobile app.
• Select View MyMedicare, then Start.

If you need to add more information, make sure you’ve spelt the practice name correctly and don’t have any extra spaces. If you can’t find your practice, you’ll need to contact them to check if they’re registered for MyMedicare.
• Select Your preferred GP, then Next.
