[QUOTE="ert, post: 2081241, member: 504712"] I lived in NZ for 5 years but wasn't diabetic at the time. 'The standard cost to visit a GP is around NZ$45-55, depending on the doctor. There is no additional charge for a visit to a GP for people from other countries.' You can't use the UK prescription in NZ. You will need to see a doctor in NZ first. 'Medication costs the same amount throughout New Zealand. If you are a resident in New Zealand you will pay $5.00 for each prescription item. The charge for a non-resident (unless for an emergency supply and coming from a reciprocal country like Australia and the UK) will be NSS, or Not Subsidised and the full cost of the medicine will apply.'
