Enrolment at Doctors on Riccarton

Enrolment

Enrolling with Doctors on Riccarton means that you nominate our practice team as your regular healthcare provider in order to gain benefits which include government subsidised doctor’s visits and reduced costs on certain prescription medicines.

While enrolment is voluntary, should you decline to enrol or are ineligible, you will be charged our higher, casual patient fee.

Due to capacity, we are only offering enrolment to the family members of our currently enrolled patients at the present.
