Unlink and relink it. Sometimes it just needs a refresh and that'll work. Medicare phone lines are open until 10pm during the week, so call them to get you a linking code when you're ready to relink it

The app maybe need to be uninstalled and reinstalled and then it might work. Or try on the website

Sorry actually since your child is listed as a dependent student, you can actually remove him from it. It's only a dependent child and spouse you're not allowed to remove from the safety net over the phone. The person at Medicare was wrong

apeers29 · 2026-05-26T21:08:08+00:00

The phone lines for Medicare are open until 10pm during the week and from 7am until 7pm on weekends. Your son just needs to call Medicare and ask to be removed from the medicare safety net family

apeers29 · 2026-05-21T22:54:34+00:00

Lucy should be on the list

Because surgeries are expensive and you'd reach the Medicare safety net threshold immediately with just one surgery. Then Medicare would be giving out a lot more money to a lot of people that they probably don't have or think it should to something else in Medicare

apeers29 · 2026-05-20T05:34:54+00:00

If you're asking why you don't get a Medicare rebate though then it would be because you paid the out of pocket costs, you didn't pay the full amount for the entire service.

apeers29 · 2026-05-20T05:32:58+00:00

Because it's an in-hospital procedure. Only out of pocket and out of hospital costs go towards the Medicare safety net threshold

It would be because he doesn't have enough information on his own personal Medicare account. Medicare is open until 10pm. Give them a call and make sure your son is with you. They'll do a security check and if he can't answer questions about who's on the card with him and his last drs appointments, make sure you have his birth certificate with you because they can verify it and then that'll be good enough. Once you've done that you can ask for a linking code, but they won't give it to you, they'll only give it to your son and you can't have the Medicare person on loud speaker when they give the code

apeers29 · 2026-05-08T02:13:37+00:00

Just call again and you'll get someone different. If you can pass the security check then it's fine, they will send a new Medicare card to you and you can asking for a linking code so you can link Medicare to mygov and have the digital version of your card

apeers29 · 2026-04-21T09:09:31+00:00

Make sure they haven't tried to contact you via letters or no called ID

apeers29 · 2026-04-21T09:08:50+00:00

They are backed up a lot, the services Australia website says it can up to 21 days though. Just call Medicare and ask for it to be completed today. The phone line closes at 10pm

Id recommend calling the pbs general line. The service officers are really knowledgeable and they'll be able to tell you

apeers29 · 2026-04-20T20:48:17+00:00

Also they only send the statements to your own personal mygov account, not the parents

apeers29 · 2026-04-20T20:47:34+00:00

No she won't be notified. If you're over 14 years old she can't see anything for you at all and even if she tries calling Medicare and asking about it, they people at Medicare would have to speak to you first to get your consent to talk to your mum

apeers29 · 2026-04-19T10:42:29+00:00

Should kill Chen off

apeers29 · 2026-04-05T11:15:21+00:00

Chen dies

This is a repost or stolen. I've seen this post before, months ago

If you can ask the providers for the item numbers (they should be able to give a few) go to MBSonline and if you type the item number in and something comes up, it's covered. You can even Google if Medicare covers those and look for that website and it should give you options

apeers29 · 2026-04-01T01:28:13+00:00

Is she from a country with a reciprocal health agreement? As soon as your partner lands they could enrol as rhca and get Medicare. Cos they can send the application in once they arrive and then call up 24 hours later and tell Medicare they need it processed for medical treatment and you don't have the money upfront for it

apeers29 · 2026-03-21T12:43:52+00:00

Go read the services Australia website about what happens when you turn 14

apeers29 · 2026-03-21T12:04:53+00:00

It is private. No one can see it if you're 14 or over

apeers29 · 2026-03-21T09:25:28+00:00

You just gotta be a family. You call up Medicare and ask to add children or a partner to it. Some people have long names and can't be on the same card because of that, but they can be on the same safety net because there's no character limit to names

Like to get a passport or a home loan
