Most medical centres charge patients for non-consultation work involving GPs, such as emails and forms. In the past, MHC has absorbed these costs in order to keep medical expenses for our patients as low as possible.
However, the large amount of time this work now takes has forced us to reconsider our position and we regret that from 1 August 2017 a nominal fee will be charged.
These fees are listed below but please be aware that where a task is more complex or takes more time than expected, a GP may charge a higher rate than is noted here.
