MyMedicare update: organisational changes must be reported within seven days
If you sell your practice, merge with another practice or change your ABN, you have 7 days to notify Services Australia by uploading the new MO074 form to HPOS. This helps ensure MyMedicare registrations and linked incentive payments can continue without unnecessary disruption.
What practices need to know
Selling your practice? The new owner has 7 days to notify Services Australia using the new MO074 form. Failure to do so may delay updates to MyMedicare and linked incentive program records.
Moving premises? If you're relocating but keeping the same ownership and ABN, don't use the MO074 form. Simply update your location through the Organisation Register relocation function.
MyMedicare patient registrations can transfer with a practice following a sale, merger, amalgamation or ABN change, helping reduce administrative burden and support continuity of care.
