No, renewal is not required, as MyMedicare registrations persist unless the patient or practice decides to modify or withdraw the patient's MyMedicare registration with the practice.
Patients will be able to access longer telehealth consultations with their registered practice and superior visibility for all treating clinicians across the health network, accessible through MyHealth Record. For example, suppose you are admitted to hospital and are registered to a GP through MyMedicare.
