What Are The Benefits Of Registering With SSMC For MyMedicare?
- Extended Telehealth Services
Enjoy longer telehealth consultations subsidised by Medicare, providing you with greater flexibility and access to healthcare.
- Support For Chronic Disease Management
Starting November 2024, Medicare will provide funding for services essential in managing chronic diseases exclusively to patients who have registered their preferred doctor and practice under the MyMedicare program.
- Financial Incentives
For individuals under 16, pensioners, or concession card holders, our practice receives additional subsidisation if our doctors bulk bill you for specific services, including extended telehealth consultations. This incentive encourages bulk billing, potentially reducing your healthcare costs.
- Enhanced Aged Care Support
If you reside in an aged care home, nominating our practice as your MyMedicare practice from August 2024 enables us to offer more frequent and comprehensive healthcare visits, ensuring you receive the care you need when you need it.
- Flexibility
MyMedicare does not restrict you to a specific doctor. You have the freedom to change your preferred doctor within South Steyne Medical Centre anytime, or even switch to a different registered practice if needed.
- Security
Rest assured, all your clinical information remains secure on our servers and within your MyHealthRecord, as MyMedicare does not store any clinical data.
