GPs and practices can receive incentive payments for each of their patients living in residential aged care by following the program guidelines and ensuring they register for MyMedicare.
Sole practitioners can also register for the incentive.
Aged care residents, their GPs and the GP’s practice must be registered with MyMedicare to participate.
Aged care residents and their families and carers can talk to their GP about this program and MyMedicare.
