Our Fees

* The First Consultation might be at the casual rate.
* Enrolment means registered with the Practice under the enrolment terms as set out by Health New Zealand/ProCare PHO.
* Fees may vary from the above due to the complexity, extended consultation time, documentation and medical technologies used and can be provided on request. Different charges apply to casual and non-enrolled patients and for other      services.

If you require a follow-up consultation with a doctor or nurse to discuss an ongoing issue or if you have been asked to make an appointment to discuss test results, please be aware that these visits will incur a full consultation fee;

Cost of materials are not included within the above prices;

Additional Charges for dressings and materials;

Should your consultation take longer than the standard 15 minutes, a surcharge may apply;

If you know that you will need more than 15 minutes, please notify reception when making the appointment, so that adequate time can be allocated. Note that there will be an additional charge;

If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know 2 hours prior to your appointment time. If we do not hear, you will receive an invoice for the appointment that was missed;

Current Fees and Charges: Patients eligible for funded consultation fees are NZ citizens and permanent residents as well as people on a valid NZ entry permit covering two years (excluding visitors and student permits).

The Government subsidises medical care charges for basic consultations for those eligible patients enrolled with the practice. Note that all other types of consultations and other services attract a fee that reflects the unsubsidised cost of the doctor or nurse time and any materials used where applicable.

If you are a CSC holder, please present this at reception to be eligible for the CSC fees.

Please note that the PHO registration processes, to establish eligibility for subsidised fees, may take up to one months from the time patients enrol with the Medical Practice.

Patients are entitled to have a support person present during a consultation.

NOTE THAT IF AN APPOINTMENT HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED WITHIN 2 HOURS PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT, A CONSULTATION CHARGE WILL BE INVOICED.
