NEW PATIENT ENROLMENT INFORMATION

Enrolment Procedure

Enrol at our Practice by filling in the enrolment form (one for each person)

Everyone 16 years and over MUST sign their own form

You cannot enrol someone else (apart from your children under 16 years of age)

Once enrolment forms are received we will then request your notes from your previous surgery

All new patients 18 years and over are asked to complete an Adult New Patient Questionnaire which informs us of your personal and medical details.

Proof of Eligibility to Enrol as a New Patient

From May 2011 the Ministry Of Health require us to see proof that all patients enrolling in a medical practice are eligible for patient subsidies.

Therefore along with your completed enrolment form we require 3 forms of identification and we need to see the following documentation before we can enrol any new patients. Until this is completed the patient can’t receive subsidised Healthcare.

Firstly we must sight either:

-       Your Passport with any relevant permits/visas to verify eligibility

-       OR your New Zealand Birth Certificate

And then two other forms of Identification (if we haven’t sighted your passport then we will need to sight a photo I.D.)

-       Driver’s Licence

-       Proof of Address

-       Community Services Card or Super Gold Card

-       School / Tertiary ID Card
