Understanding MyMedicare

At Summers Family Practice, we are dedicated to providing thoughtful and personalised care for our patients. Those with more serious medical conditions and complex health needs may benefit from signing up for MyMedicare to strengthen their care. MyMedicare is a voluntary system that allows you to nominate your preferred GP and practice to Medicare, ensuring better coordination of your healthcare and ongoing support for chronic conditions at no cost to yourself.

Why Register for MyMedicare?

• Longer Medicare-funded telehealth consultations for registered patients

• Improved chronic disease management with tailored care plans. Future chronic care services such as home medication reviews will be tied to MyMedicare registration.

Regular care planning for those with chronic conditions enables better continuity of care, especially for those with ongoing medical needs. Care plans also enable access to allied health services such as physiotherapy, dietetics, and podiatry through Medicare-supported referrals.

How to Register

Register online through MyMedicare or speak to our friendly reception team during your next visit.

By signing up, you help us provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to your needs. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask our team at Summers Family Practice.
