For General Practice

Eligible general practices can access the GPACI if they are registered with MyMedicare and meet the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive eligibility and servicing requirements. 

Aged care home patients must be also registered with MyMedicare and identified by the responsible GP and practice to participate in the incentive.

Payments are:

  • $300 per patient, per year, paid to the responsible GP and
  • $130 per patient, per year, paid to the practice.

 

The payments are quarterly, in addition to existing Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) and Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) rebates for services delivered.

Rural loadings will apply to the responsible GP and practice incentive payments for Modified Monash Model (MMM) regions MMM 3 to MMM 7.
