Redland Bay Surgery is registered with MyMedicare. MyMedicare allows you to nominate a general practice and general practitioner as your regular healthcare provider. When you register in MyMedicare, extra funding from the Australian Government becomes available to support our practice to provide more of the targeted care you need. Patients who register with our practice in MyMedicare may benefit from:

• Longer MBS-funded telephone consultations

• Longer bulk billed telehealth consultations for children under 16 and Commonwealth concession card holders at the new triple bulk billing rate

• More regular visits from their GP and better care planning for people living in a Residential Aged Care Home

• Connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people with chronic conditions who visit hospital frequently

Formalising the patient-practice relationship, like with MyMedicare, has been shown to improve health and wellbeing, and that is why we are inviting all of our regular patients to register in MyMedicare.
