Fees and payment information

Our GP & Nurse consultation fees are displayed in the waiting room. Copies are also available, if you would like one please ask at reception. Our fees are made up from the following:

• Consultation time
• Complexity
• Eligible funding
• Cost of running a medical practice

Free fees apply to:

• Flu vaccination for pregnant women, anyone aged 65 years and over and anyone aged under 65 years with a medical condition that increases their risk of developing complication from the flu (conditions apply)
• Childhood immunisations
• Maternity care for the first 14 weeks

If you are not enrolled with our practice but would like to see a doctor the consultation fee is higher. This is called a casual consultation and must be paid before the consultation.

All payment for services is required after your consultation.

You may pay using

• Cash
• Cheque

If you do not pay on the day you will be sent an account which will incur administration fees.

All unpaid overdue accounts will be sent to a debt collection agency with all costs incurred by the patient including legal fees.

If your account is overdue payment for any further treatment is required before the consultation unless it is a medical emergency.

All accounts that remain unpaid will be recorded with a Credit Reporting Agency which may affect your credit rating.
