How to Book the Correct Pegasus Appointment
A standard appointment is normally 15 minutes and is intended for one concern or up to two simple issues. Ask for two appointments when several problems or a complex discussion need more time.
| What you need | Best route | What to tell reception |
|---|---|---|
| Routine GP consultation | ManageMyHealth or phone | Main concern and whether one standard appointment is enough. |
| Urgent or worsening symptoms | Phone and request nurse triage | When symptoms began, what changed and why the problem cannot wait. |
| Several health concerns | Request a double appointment | List the concerns in priority order and ask about the additional fee. |
| Nurse, blood test or vaccination | Phone reception | Exact service, eligibility, vaccine request or laboratory instructions. |
| Mole check or minor surgery | Phone reception | Whether assessment has already occurred and which lesion or procedure is involved. |
| IUCD, Mirena, Jadelle or vasectomy | Phone reception | Requested procedure and whether a preliminary consultation has occurred. |
| Telephone consultation | Ask reception | Whether examination, testing or viewing a body area may be needed. |
| New-patient or insurance medical | Phone reception | Form type, deadline, records-transfer status and required appointment length. |
Decide whether the issue is urgent
Phone rather than booking online when symptoms are worsening or may need same-day assessment.
Select phone or ManageMyHealth
Use the portal for routine GP appointments. Phone for procedures, nursing, enrolment and special medicals.
Confirm appointment length
Routine consultations are normally 15 minutes. Multiple or complex concerns may require a double appointment.
Check preparation and cost
Ask about forms, fasting, records, medicine lists, procedure instructions and likely fees.
“Kia ora, my main concern is ____. It started ____, and it is getting better / staying the same / getting worse. Is a standard GP appointment suitable, or do I need a nurse, urgent assessment, double appointment or procedure booking?”
Have ready when booking
- Patient name and date of birth.
- Main reason for the visit.
- How long symptoms have been present.
- Whether the problem is worsening.
- Current medicines and allergies.
- Interpreter, mobility or sensory requirements.
Avoid reminder problems
- Confirm your mobile number and email address.
- Set your own reminder for portal-booked appointments.
- Do not reply to automated reminder texts; replies may not be monitored.
- Arrive on time because late arrival may shorten the visit or require rebooking.
- Cancel at least two hours before the appointment when possible.
- Prebook routine reviews because some appointments can fill well in advance.
New-Patient Enrolment, Forms and First Appointment

Not currently enrolling
The clinic-reviewed Healthpoint listing displays “No” for new-patient enrolment.
Requests may be waitlisted

- Prepare identification, date of birth, address and contact details.
- Provide an emergency contact and Community Services Card details when relevant.
- List allergies, medicines, smoking status and important health conditions.
- Provide the previous medical centre or doctor so records can be requested.

|---|---|---|
| Records transfer | The practice may request notes from your previous medical centre before the first visit. | Provide accurate previous-practice details and allow transfer time. |
| Initial appointment | A 30-minute or double appointment may be required, particularly for patients over 50 or when a nurse requests it. | Bring medicines, allergies, family history, screening information and current concerns. |
| Clinical review | A doctor and, where needed, a nurse may review conditions, medicines, prevention and screening. | Prioritise the most important health issues. |
| Fee | The July 2026 schedule lists a new-patient appointment at $120, or $80 with a Community Services Card. | Confirm the total cost before attending. |
