Before the roll-over date, you will pay a higher fee. All GP practices will be able to tell you the fees they charge for enrolled patients and the higher fees for casual (i.e. non-enrolled) patients. Bear in mind that if you see a GP at a different practice for out-of-hours care, you will not be enrolled with them and will pay a higher fee.
