Enrolled vs. Casual Patient Fees
Enrolled fees
Enrolling with Tend makes us your primary healthcare provider, giving you access to lower consultation fees. Our doctors and nurses become your main point of care, ensuring continuity and a more personalised healthcare experience. Enrolled patients benefit from lower fees because their GP receives government capitation funding, which helps offset the cost of their care.

Casual fees
Casual patients remain registered with another GP and visit Tend on an as-needed basis. Because they are not enrolled, their appointments are not subsidised by government funding, resulting in higher consultation fees. Casuals fees start from $25 for under 14s for an Online Now 24/7 appointment.

However Online Now 10 minute appointments is cheaper for some casual patients with a CSC card.
Online Now appointments after hours (10pm - 8am) and on public holidays will cost an extra $10, except for those under 14 years with a CSC who are free at all times.
Community Services Card
A Community Services Card (CSC) in New Zealand helps people on lower incomes pay less for healthcare and prescriptions. You must be enrolled with a GP to access Community Service Card holder pricing.
