A New Zealand specific General Medical Services code is used for Government subsidy programs. Normally Profile calculates the GMS code based on the presence of a community service card and the patient's age.
The first character of the code is a letter based on the patient's age.
| Y | A youth aged between 0 and 5 |
| C | A child aged between 6 and 12 |
| J | A junior aged between 13 and 17 |
| A | An adult aged 18 and over |
The second character of the code is a letter or numeral based on the presence of a community service card.
| 1 | The patient has a current CSC card |
| Z | The patient has a current HUC card |
| 3 | The patient has no CSC or HUC cards |
This default behaviour can be over-ridden by specifying the GMS code.
