Pretty much the same as Aus and UK, though I think some level of subsidised healthcare for visitors though surgery, etc. will be charged in full, and full coverage for permanent residents, where as Aus tends to charge full price for everything, I believe (still cheap compared to the states though).

Doctors (GP) visit typically costs me around $40-50NZD, thats likely on the high side, Children are free / fully subsidised.

A&E visit would be $50-100NZD

Most all injury related medical costs are covered or subsidised by ACC.

Specialists Appts typically cost ~$200 per visit

Private health insurance, while in no way "required", is still offered by the bigger employers and will see better outcomes for elective and non-urgent surgery and is priced in the hundreds of dollars per year for "basic" coverage if you wish to purchase as an individual.

Edit: clarified coverage for visitors

Even more transparency is a step up. Meaningful non anxiety inducing prices are all that is needed tbh.
