It really annoyed me how much the A&E / doctors charged for babies / toddlers in chch. We tried to take DS when he was little and it was going to cost us heaps down there (week day, during the day) so we took him to my mums dr and paid about $25 - still far too much if you ask me. My dr on the shore costs nothing and neither does the local Accident and Medical clinic ... and its only a $10 surcharge at weekends.
No idea how chch justifies their charges, when rent, wages etc would be more expensive in ak!!
Rant over!
I'm sure she will be fine til the morning if she has no temp and isn't too bothered by it hun. Good luck for tonight!
White cross on lincoln road now charges $30 for under 6 year olds after hours...unless you are enrolled with certain Auckland central doctors :(
Hope your little one is better today.
Did you get to the Dr? Was it due to the injection or a viral infection? Not chicken pox?
Dr visits for under 6 are free if you go to your registered Dr. They are free if you go to the hospital A&E. You pay if you go to a A&M clinic after hrs or one that you are not registered with.
Children under 6 aren't free at our medical center, they are $17.
wow
I have a great Dr never paid or pay for my under 6yr olds & no way my over 6yrs old are that much
Eeeks same here. Its $17 for adults at our Medical Center and nothing for under 6 year olds. Also don't get charged anything for under 6 years olds at our after hours clinic at hospital either.
