Australian Medicare card number

Prev Next

Australian Medicare card number is supported in a 10-digit format as some systems do not support the 11-digit card number. The 10-digit Medicare card number is not sufficient to uniquely identify the number associated with an individual on a Medicare card as a card can include up to 9 individuals.
