Repeat prescriptions can be requested online. We do have a duty to review our patient’s medical conditions when repeating medical prescriptions.

If they are urgently required (on the same day) or have to be sent to a pharmacy out of town, the fee will be $ 22.00.

Our fees may change from time to time. Please feel free to enquire at Reception if you wish to confirm a fee before you accept our services.

Payment Terms

Accounts are payable on the day of consultation. Payment is available at the practice by cash, cheque, Eftpos or Credit Card.

Direct credit payments into our bank account are of course welcome, too.  Our account number is 02-0940-0023851-02.

However, if you are having trouble paying your account, please speak with one of the Receptionists.

Overdue accounts will incur an administration fee.

Enrolment

Healthcare in New Zealand is not free to the patient but it is subsidised by the Ministry of Health and by ACC if you are enrolled with us. The remaining fee, the co-payment, is charged to the patient. Co-payments depend on the timing and type of service you receive and vary between medical centres.

(February 2024) Unfortunately, we are not able to accept new patients at this point. Our team works at capacity. We take pride in providing a high level of care and need to make sure that we are adequately staffed to do so.

Please contact us to talk about this further. We do have a waitlist for new patients. We might be able to make an exception for family members as it is beneficial for whānau to be under the same care.

Thanks for your kind understanding.
