Here’s an in-depth look at why South Steyne Medical Centre stands out as the preferred Manly medical centre for MyMedicare participants.
Personalized and Proactive Healthcare
At South Steyne Medical Centre, we prioritize a proactive approach to health. This means we focus on prevention and early detection of health issues, which can lead to better health outcomes over the long term. By registering with us as your preferred MyMedicare practice, you gain a dedicated healthcare team committed to understanding and meeting your unique health needs. Our doctors and healthcare professionals aim to build a lasting relationship with you, providing personalized care that adapts as your health needs evolve.
Extended Telehealth Services
Understanding the needs of our community in Manly, we offer extended telehealth services to our MyMedicare patients. This service is particularly beneficial for those who prefer consultations from the comfort of their home or have mobility challenges. These longer telehealth consultations are fully funded by Medicare, ensuring that you receive the care you need without additional financial burden.
Chronic Disease Management
Effective November 2024, Medicare is introducing new funding for services that are crucial in the management of chronic diseases. However, this funding will be accessible only through your chosen MyMedicare practice. By choosing South Steyne Medical Centre, you ensure that your chronic conditions are managed comprehensively and consistently, with coordinated care plans tailored by a team that understands your medical history and health goals.
Financial Incentives for Eligible Patients
If you are under 16, a pensioner, or hold a concession card, you could benefit from financial incentives that make healthcare more affordable. South Steyne Medical Centre receives additional funding for services provided under the bulk-billing scheme, which includes these extended telehealth consultations, among other services. This initiative makes it financially feasible for you to access quality healthcare services without the stress of high medical costs.
Enhanced Aged Care Support
Starting August 2024, South Steyne Medical Centre will offer enhanced support for residents of aged care homes. By nominating our centre as your MyMedicare practice, our aged patients will benefit from more regular and comprehensive healthcare visits, ensuring that our elderly receive the best possible care tailored to their specific needs.
Flexibility and Security
Choosing South Steyne Medical Centre as your Manly medical centre for MyMedicare offers flexibility. While we strive to build lasting doctor-patient relationships, you are free to change your preferred doctor within our practice at any time. This flexibility ensures that your care always aligns with your comfort and trust. Additionally, we uphold the highest standards of data security, ensuring that all your clinical information is maintained confidentially on secure servers and within your MyHealthRecord, should you choose to participate in that program.
