Register for MyMedicare

General practices can register for the MyMedicare program. To do this you must:

• make sure you’re eligible
• link an organisation in Provider Digital Access (PRODA) to Health Professional Online Services (HPOS)
• access the Organisation Register in HPOS to register your practice and link your eligible providers.

If your practice is already registered and all participating providers are linked in the Organisation Register, you don’t need to complete a second registration process.

Once these steps are complete, you can add the MyMedicare program to your Organisation Site Record in the Program Registration tab.

To complete your registration and enable patient registrations you need to have completed the following:

• started your practice registration
• linked your individual providers in PRODA and the Organisation Register
• add the MyMedicare program.

For patients to select a practice and a general practitioner (GP) as their preferred GP in MyMedicare, the practice must:

• have the MyMedicare program added on the Organisation Register
• have GPs linked to the practice on the Organisation Register
• make sure GPs have a valid provider number and are eligible to deliver Medicare Benefits Schedule or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) equivalent services.

Registering for patients

Patient registration for MyMedicare is open.

Patients must have a Medicare or DVA Veteran card to register for MyMedicare. Patients can register online or in-person at their registered practice. All MyMedicare registration forms must be returned to the patient’s nominated practice.
