General Medical issues thread

Got the email today from said local clinic to register for "My Medicare" as primary GP. Understand "continuity of care" but will continue with old mate in town till he retires which will be in the next few years methinks.

Yes, the reason I found out about it was that there was a prompt in the Hotdoc reminder I got for an appointment I have with the GP next Monday.

I can’t see myself using myMedicare but I might do a bit more digging.

There is no downside to My Medicare, register your main GP and you get benefit of no/smaller gap because they get more govt funding for registered patients, but if you need to go somewhere else you still get the usual rebate.
