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. MyMedicare is part of an ongoing commitment to strengthen Medicare for all Australians.
Patient registration commenced on Oct 1, 2023 with additional incentives continuing to grow:
These incentive payments are effective from November 1, 2023
The new General Practice in Aged Care Incentive (GPACI) will be established to give aged care residents better access to high quality, continuous and person-centred primary care.
An incentive will be available to GPs and practices for providing their Residential Aged Care Home (RACH) patients who are registered with MyMedicare with a quality bundle of care, consisting of at least 2 care planning items (health assessment, contribution to a RACH care plan and/or case conferencing services) in the previous 12 months and at least 3 face to face visits every quarter.
An incentive will be available to the practice for arranging the visits, providing access to multidisciplinary care teams, and coordinating care. The system will automatically calculate and make payments to providers and practices who meet the GPACI eligibility criteria, making it a seamless experience for providers and practices to receive payments.
