The e-Notification via Care Connect should be used to submit all Covid-19 notifications to Auckland Regional Public Health Service.    

Reimbursement for activity is based on the patient paying no co-payment and is to be applied regardless of Residency status, as below:

1. Medical Assessment, no swab, discharge home, recommend patient is followed up by phone or text by practice within 3 days: $120 excl GST

2. Medical Assessment, swab, management of symptoms, patient discharged home to self-isolate, negative results followed up with patient by practice: $250 excl GST

3. Medical Assessment, no swab, management of symptoms, patient referred to hospital, results followed up with patient: $250 excl GST

The e-referral will automatically generate a payment to the referring provider.  Do not submit a POAC referral.
