About the webinar
MyMedicare is a new voluntary patient registration model.
The program will strengthen and formalise the relationship between patients and their primary care teams, drive improvements in the delivery of continuity and quality of care, improve patient health outcomes, offer additional/expanded access to some telehealth consultations, and provide a platform to support funding reform towards blended payment models.
Registration in MyMedicare is voluntary for patients, practices and providers.
Find more information on the MyMedicare program.
