To book your appointment

General Practitioners can refer patients directly to Franklin Hospital's endoscopy service, without patients needing to consult with a specialist first, by any of the following methods:

Email: endoscopy@franklinhospital.co.nz
Phone: 09 220 4805
Drop your completed GP referral into our Endoscopy Appointment Coordinator, Level 1 reception, Franklin Hospital

Prior to your appointment

A nurse will phone you prior to your appointment to discuss your general health as well as provide advice about your procedure.

Payment details

If you have private health insurance, please arrange your prior approval with them before your procedure (except Southern Cross members as we will apply for approval on your behalf). You must bring your insurance prior approval letter with you to this appointment.

If your procedure is not covered by insurance, we will calculate an estimated total cost of your procedure which will be charged on your arrival. Dependant on consumables used during your procedure, there may be additional payment required on discharge.
