GPs wanting to participate in MyMedicare may need to set up systems to enrol patients with their practice for when the scheme starts later this year.
General practices will be able to enrol to be part of MyMedicare from 1 July, while patients will be able to enrol with a participating general practice, with the option to nominate a preferred GP at the practice, from 1 October.
If you don’t have one already, doctors will need an individual Provider Digital Access (PRODA) account with Services Australia. You will need to provide verification documents. Register for a PRODA account.
General Practices wanting to participate in MyMedicare will need to be registered on the Health Professional Online Services (HPOS) organisation register. Register your organisation
