Updated MyMedicare Resources
What’s been updated?
MyMedicare Program Guidelines - to improve clarity of eligibility, consent arrangements and exemption pathways.
MyMedicare Registration Form - to align with updated guidelines, including revised exemption categories and a new extenuating circumstances option.
MyMedicare DL brochure - to reflect current program settings and patient information.
Practice posters - to support awareness and patient engagement.
What practices need to know
When registering patients, ensure the correct exemption pathway is selected on the MyMedicare Registration Form or recorded in the HPOS system (including applying updated exemption categories).
Completed registration forms must be retained by the practice in the patient’s clinical record and must not be sent to Services Australia or the Department.
Use updated patient-facing resources (brochures and posters) to support conversations about MyMedicare registration.
