Hey,
Just wondering if anyone knows the cost of the Jadelle implant?? Do you pay for that AND the doctors appointment or just the implant ?

im pretty sure everyone gets it for free as it is government subidiesed . i just had to pay for 2 family planning apointments at about $45 each but i think these are free or very cheap if you have a community services card, one was a first intial apoinment to make sure it was what suited me best , then i went on a waitng list and the next apointment was the implantaion of the rods .

my DR charges $90 + a first consult with the doc of $32. Family planning is a tonne cheaper (we don't have a FP office here that will do it tho, i have to go into the city).

if you are under 24, your appts at family planning are free. if you are 24 or over you have to pay for the appt.
the cost of the Jadelle itself is subsidised

Spoke to my midwife here today and they aren't done here and I would have to go to Dunedin to the family planning centre and she said they found out yesterday that even being subsidised it would cost $112!! plus the $120 or so it would cost us to fill up the car enough to get to and from dunedin so about $230 for us so its a no!
Apparantly a doctor in town is looking into getting training etc but that could still take a while

Cost of Jadelle will be standard at Family Planning clincs across the country. There is a fee of around $20 to cover the cost of disposables.
Under 22 a visit to a Family Planning Clinic is free.
Over 22 and with a Community Services Card a visit costs $5.50
Over 22 and no CSC a visit cost $23.
Difference charges apply for non NZ residents.
