Terms & Conditions

Free Spot Check Offer
The offer is “one free spot check per patient performed by a Nurse Dermoscopist before or on 29th February 2024” instead of the usual price of $59.
Offer is only available at Auckland clinics where there is a Nurse Dermoscopist located and is subject to availability. The consultation must take place before or on 29th February 2024 to be eligible for the offer.

A Spot Check is for checking 1 mole or lesion of concern that the patient has identified prior to their appointment. A Spot Check is not a Skin Cancer Consultation, but rather the chance to have 1 suspicious mole or lesion checked and assessed.  The spot to be checked is to be identified by the patient for the Clinician to check at the beginning of the appointment.

The patient will be notified of the findings of this Spot Check. If further consultation, a biopsy or treatment is advised or recommended, then we recommend the patient to have a Skin Cancer Consultation.  If the patient chooses to have the Skin Cancer Consultation, they will incur the relevant Skin Cancer Consultation fee.

If consultation, a biopsy or treatment is advised or recommended and the patient does not wish to proceed with Skin Institute, then a copy of the Spot Check consultation notes will be either given to the patient directly or electronically sent to the patient’s GP. Any additional referral service to other parties will require a formal consultation that will incur the appropriate consultation and procedure charges of the provider.  It is the patient’s responsibility to ensure that the recommended treatments or investigations are carried out with a registered health provider of their choice in a time appropriate manner.  Although all care is taken, no examination can be completely accurate in detecting and diagnosing skin cancer. Furthermore, the discovery of suspicious lesions may not mean the presence of cancer.

 

$99 Skin Cancer Consultation with a Nurse Dermoscopist Offer
The offer is “have a skin cancer consultation with a Nurse Dermoscopist before or on 29th February 2024 and pay only $99 – save $60”.
Offer is only available at Auckland clinics where there is a Nurse Dermoscopist located and is subject to availability. The consultation must take place before or on 29th February 2024 to be eligible for the offer. Any subsequent consultations or treatments will incur additional fees.
