MyMedicare aged care incentive for GPs set at $300 a year per patient
The new aged care incentive is scheduled to begin in August of next year.
GPs will directly receive $300 a year for each aged care patient they treat under MyMedicare, with another $130 per patient going to their practice each year.
Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler announced the dollar figures at a speech at the Committee for Economic Development of Australia think tank this week.
