Home Medicines Reviews (HMR) is a free service provided by Medicare for eligible patients, designed to enhance medication management and safety. This valuable service is covered under item MBS 900, which offers a $179.60 reimbursement. Through HMR, patients receive personalized medication reviews by accredited pharmacists, ensuring optimal health outcomes and comprehensive support without any cost to them.

Our Mission

Our team is proudly based in Australia, and we are committed to keeping our services local—never outsourcing to overseas contractors. Our goal is to help you boost the number of home medication reviews in your practice. Item #900, billed at $179.60, is a key part of patient care that’s often underused. With around 1,000 eligible patients in most practices, there’s a great chance to make a real impact on their health with this valuable service.
We work closely with your practice manager or nurses to identify patients who would benefit from a Home Medication Review (HMR). We’re here to make the process as smooth and effective as possible.

THE PROCESS

How does it work ?

Setting Expectations

What you expect from our pharmacists ?

As part of our comprehensive care approach, an HMR-accredited pharmacist will reach out directly to your patient to arrange a convenient time for an in-home visit. During this visit, the pharmacist will conduct a thorough medication review, ensuring they meet your patient in a professional and respectful manner. Following the consultation, the pharmacist will compile a detailed report, which will be forwarded to your clinic within two weeks of the patient’s visit. This report will provide valuable insights to support your ongoing care plan.
