Triage
All patients presenting for urgent care at the MediCross Clinic will be triaged based on the Australasian Triage Scale. Children will however be in a triage category higher than adults.
The receptionists are aware of certain life threatening conditions and will call for nurse/doctor assistance if required immediately.
Patients will be seen according to their triage score and only the presenting complaint will be treated during the consultation.
Please note: on occasion both ACC surcharge and cost of medical consultation may apply.

Prescriptions
Prescriptions are important documents which can only be provided by qualified professionals. They instruct the pharmacist to appropriately dispense the medication for you. A maximum of 90 days medication is legally permitted on most prescriptions.
If you have been stabilised on a regular medication your doctor may agree to provide a prescription without a consultation. A script charge will apply. Every six months, or every second repeat, an appointment will need to be made to see your GP to review medications. In some instances you may be advised to come in for a review earlier.
We do not accept telephone requests for prescriptions.
Email: script@medicross.co.nz with your request.
PLEASE ALLOW A MINIMUM OF FOUR WORKING DAYS FOR YOUR PRESCRIPTION.
