Enrolment is the process of confirming that you are
eligible to access public funding for primary
health care in New Zealand.
When you enrol you are enrolling with a Primary
Health Organisation, who manage the distribution of
primary care funding. By enrolling through us we
are allocated funds which enable us to provide you
with discounted costs and access to other PHO
funded services.
Our PHO is Compass Health.
Enrolling gives you access to public health
funding, so the primary reason is that it will be
cheaper to come and see us.
Enrolling also means that you are part of the wider
Compass Health network, which will give you direct
access to a wide range of services that Compass
Health and its partners provide.
No, you don't have to enrol in order to see us
about your health. If you don't or can't
enrol then you're considered a 'casual'
patient and you'll need to pay the full cost of
your consultation
If you need to see us because you've had an
accident which will be covered by ACC then the
amount you need to pay will be lower.
In order to enrol through us you need to meet the
Ministry of Health's eligibility requirements.
If you're not sure if you're eligible, get in touch with us and we can help.
Here are our fees for an enrolled patient appointment to see a GP:
| Age | Charge |
|---|---|
| Under 13 | No charge |
| 13 - 17 | $40 |
| 18 - 24 | $53 |
| 25 - 44 | $58 |
| 45 - 64 | $58 |
| 65+ | $53 |
Our charges vary for other services, such as casual
consultations, ACC visits, extended consults, minor
surgery, prescriptions and practice nurse
visits.
We will work with you to identify the funding
assistance available in your specific situation.
In most cases we ask that you pay for your
consultation at the time of your visit. In some
cases we may provide services on account by
arrangement with one of our receptionists.
We do charge administration fees for unpaid
accounts, and unpaid accounts are referred to
external debt collection at your cost.
We will always do our best to communicate with you
before this happens.
We accept cash, cheques, EFTPOS and major credit
cards (excluding American Express and Diners
Club).
If you have an account you can also pay us by
direct credit:

When we're closed you have two options for
receiving urgent medical care.

in Mt Cook provides after hours medical care in a
primary care setting, and includes a fracture
clinic for ongoing care and follow up for broken
bones.
You can also go the Emergency Department at
Wellington Hospital, where your urgency will be
assessed and you will be prioritised based on
severity rather than arrival time.
