We are often asked questions about our ACC fees such as why are ACC fees the same?
Answer: In the past, when there was no subsidy for standard consultations, ACC was the only source of subsidy for adults and the fees were correspondingly lower. ACC subsidies are now very similar to those offered for non ACC consultations and it is no longer possible for us to absorb the additional costs.
Our appointments are 15 minutes. As a courtesy to others and in the interest of good practice please book a double appointment if you have multiple issues you wish to discuss.
Overdue fees – We require that any overdue accounts be addressed before further appointments can be scheduled. We may ask that you pay prior to seeing us if your account is in arrears
