The MyMedicare patient enrolment scheme is open for GP practices — should you sign up now? 

The sign-up process for practices should be 'relatively simple', says AMA vice-president Dr Danielle McMullen.

MyMedicare is officially here. 

Since 1 July, practices can register for the Federal Government’s voluntary patient enrolment scheme before the incentives start flowing later this year.  

AMA vice-president Dr Danielle McMullen says now is the time for GPs to “understand MyMedicare and to have a look at what it may offer for them and their patients”.

“I would encourage practices to take a look at the process and start discussing how they plan to approach this,” she says.
