What to expect during your
Initial appointments are booked to be up to 50 – 60 minutes long. During this time your doctor will:
1. Take your medical history
2. Review all medications
3. Examine you as appropriate
There may be some more investigations requested. If it is possible your doctor will discuss a diagnosis, treatment plan and start treatment.
All cases will be reviewed by the supervising endocrinologist. This review may be by discussion before or after the appointment or your endocrinologist may come into the appointment and talk to you directly.
It is helpful for you to fill in the endocrine/GP questionnaire and return it prior to the appointment. This should provide a list of your medications. Bring the results of all scans you have had done recently and letters from any other specialists you have seen.
A follow up appointment will be booked to review investigation results and start or review a treatment plan.
Follow up appointments will be a maximum of 30 minutes.
Charges:
First appointment: $495.00 (up to 1 hour)
Follow up appointment: $250.00 (up to 30 minutes)
Short appointment: $100.00 (up to 15 minutes)
Email advice: $55.00
Prescription charge: $41.00
*The Women's Health GP service does not take the place of your usual GP who will remain your primary healthcare provider and will continue care for all other health concerns.

Our Women’s Health GPs can help with a range of concerns under the guidance of our endocrinologists — including PCOS, thyroid issues, PMS, and menopause care.
🔹 For conditions like PCOS and thyroid disorders and other issues other than menopause or PMS/PMDD, we still recommend a referral from your usual doctor if possible, as this ensures we have all the relevant background information to provide you with the best care.
🔹 For perimenopause/menopause PMS and PMDD, because diagnosis is mainly on the basis of symptoms, many women already have a good sense of what they’re experiencing — so we now accept self-referrals for these issues.
👉 If you are self-referring:
Please complete our onboarding forms — including the registration and health questionnaire. These will automatically be sent to our referrals team at referrals@erhassociates.co.nz for triaging.
💡 Fees and Insurance:
Self-referred Women’s Health GP appointments are $495 NZD, payable at the time of booking for virtual consults or on the day of consultation for in person consults.
Southern Cross insurance does not cover these consultations, but other insurance companies may have some provision for cover. Please discuss any insurance cover questions with our staff when booking your appointment.
