REMINDER: Medicare Provider Number paperwork – due Friday 1 December 2023

A reminder for all that registrars are required to submit all Medicare Provider Number (MPN) paperwork by Friday 1 December. 

Registrars received their MPN application from the RACGP via email (cc practice manager) once their placement was confirmed. The subject of this email is ‘term papers for signing’. 

Steps to be taken: 

1. Registrar completes page 1 of the MPN application. 
2. Registrar shows page 2 of the MPN application to the Practice Manager (for 2024.1 placement), to ensure that all practice details are correct. 
3. Registrar signs and dates form (page 2). 
4. Registrar returns all 3 pages of the MPN paperwork to AGPTApprovedPlacement@racgp.org.au (including paperwork for any additional sites eg VMO, after hours site etc) 
5. It’s important that the paperwork submitted is high quality. 

We cannot guarantee that provider number paperwork received after Friday 1 December will have a provider number issued prior to the start of the 2024.1 semester. 

Note: Registrars cannot apply for a provider number with billing rights through PRODA. 

If you have any questions, please contact your local training coordinator.

Sign up for the RACGP Healthy Habits program

Designed with practices and GPs in mind, Healthy Habits is a free digital health program that helps you support patients looking to make positive lifestyle choices. The app encourages small changes to nutrition, physical activity and sleep habits to meet larger health goals, set by patients and their primary healthcare team. GPs can then monitor patient progress, discuss challenges and provide ongoing encouragement via a clinician dashboard. 

• See patient progress at a glance: Facilitate effective conversations within a standard consultation based on the patient's nutrition, physical activity and sleep health habits.   
• Give proactive feedback: Identify patients who might be struggling to stay on track and send them messages of encouragement through the clinician dashboard to the patient's app.  
• Access the Healthy Habits Resource Hub: Utilise the information, guidelines and CPD training available to support patients who want to make positive lifestyle changes.  

Learn more about the program and register your practice for free.
