Fees and services
Find out more about our payment optionsOur fees and payment options
Whaiora offers low fees to our enrolled clients. We understand that visits to our Medical Centre are often unexpected and it’s not always easy to pay on the day. We offer two payment options:
- pay on the day before your consultation OR
- automatic payments set up at the time of enrolment
Automatic payments are credited to your Whaiora account. Consultation fees will be deducted from your account balance.
Visit costs are based on a 15 minute consultation for one enquiry. If you require more time, please advise and we will book a longer consultation and advise of extra cost. All of our fees are for each consultation, regardless if it is a follow up appointment for a recurring condition, issue, or to discuss test results.
