  • On arrival, a nurse triages patients to prioritise care.
  • Patients may not be seen in order of arrival.

Repeat Prescriptions and Results

Tui Medical says repeat prescriptions are for enrolled patients who are on regular medicines. Every patient needs to be seen at least once a year, and prescription processing can take up to four working days.

Before requesting a repeat

  1. Request it before your medicine runs out.
  2. Provide the medicine name, strength and dose.
  3. Confirm your preferred pharmacy.
  4. State if anything has changed.
  5. Be prepared for a review if you are due.

Why it may not be automatic

  • Your yearly review may be due.
  • Monitoring tests may be needed.
  • Your regular GP may be away.
  • You may only receive a shorter supply.
  • Your symptoms or medicine may have changed.

Results follow-up

  • Ask how results will be communicated.
  • Ask when to follow up if you hear nothing.
  • Ask whether a GP appointment is required.
  • Ask what symptoms mean you should seek help sooner.
Do not use a repeat prescription request for an urgent medicine problem. Phone the clinic, use urgent care when appropriate, call Healthline for advice, or call 111 for a critical emergency.

Fees, Payment and Documents

Tui Medical publishes fees by clinic, and the amount can change depending on registration, Community Services Card or High User Health Card status, age, casual status, ACC, appointment type and extra services.

Casual visit Is a casual appointment available, and what casual fee applies?
ACC injury care Is this covered by ACC, and is there still a surcharge?
Forms or certificates Does this need a double appointment, and what is the form fee?
Minor surgery or procedure Are consultation, consumables, lab costs and follow-up charged separately?
Missed appointment risk What cancellation notice is required, and what non-attendance fee applies?
Payment Is payment required on the day, and are account/admin fees added if unpaid?
Fee-page pattern: Tui Medical clinic fee pages state that fees are generally based on a single appointment, extended appointments or consumables may add charges, payment is required on the day, and non-attendance fees may apply.

Common Tui Medical Booking Mistakes

These issues can lead to delay, rebooking or a failed visit.

1

Choosing the wrong clinic.
Hours, services, fees and urgent care availability differ by location.

Using online booking for a special medical.
Driving, diving, police, employment and medical reports need phone booking for a double appointment.

3

Going to a GP clinic for urgent care.
Urgent care is listed at Te Rapa and Rototuna, not every Tui Medical location.

4

Expecting urgent care to handle routine paperwork.
Tui Medical says forms, WINZ certificates and repeats should be handled through GP appointments.

5

Requesting medicine too late.
Repeat prescriptions can take up to four working days and may need a review.

6

Using an old Central address.
The Central clinic page says the clinic moved from 960 Victoria Street to 856 Victoria Street.

7

Ignoring cancellation rules.
Published clinic fee pages mention cancellation notice and non-attendance charges.

8

Confusing Tui Medical with The Doctors Tui.
The Doctors Tui is a different Whangārei practice, not the Tui Medical Waikato clinic group.
