What do you need to do?
If you choose to enrol you need to complete an Enrolment Form . This can be done online or in hard copy and emailed to admin@casebrooksurgery.pegasus.net.nz. This is not the same as a New Patient Questionnaire. All patients, enrolled and casual, need to fill in a new patients form when you first consult with one of our healthcare providers. This is so we can record your basic details in our computer system and provide a better service to you. An enrolment form is an additional form which you need to complete which confirms that you have chosen us to be your main healthcare provider.
You will need to be able to provide proof of eligibility.
This may include a passport, NZ certificate of citizenship, or a NZ birth certificate*.
NZ birth certificate* Note – Not all patients born in NZ are eligible as parents’ eligibility may need to be considered as well. For these patients, parents must also provide proof of eligibility.
What Fees do I need to pay?
It can take up to week for your old medical practice to transfer medical notes to us. All new patients will be asked to pay the CASUAL RATE for their first visit ($95 or $75 is you have a CSC). For subsequent visit fees, please see our Patient Fees section for a list of the standard fees.
