Fees
We aim to provide a fair and efficient service for all our patients. To facilitate this, the practice has adopted a policy that all accounts should be settled at the time of your consultation. We thank all our patients for cooperating with this policy.
We accept payment by cash, card or cheque and can take payment over the phone on outstanding balances. If you have an outstanding balance, you may receive an SMS message from us with a secure payment link.
Patients with outstanding balances are required to pay their balance in full prior to making any further appointments.
You can see an outline of our general fees below, please note that the fee for consultation with the nurse may vary depending on the service being provided. Please enquire at reception if the fee for a particular service is not available below.
*PRIVATE CHARGES MAY APPLY TO MEDICAL CARD/DOCTOR VISIT CARD PATIENTS WHERE THE SERVICE IS NOT COVERED BY THE MEDICAL CARD SCHEME
Your Medical Card/GP Visit Card covers ordinary GP assessment and treatment and services funded under HSE/PCRS arrangements. Charges may apply for services outside those arrangements, such as private reports/letters, elective procedures, routine screening or health checks not covered by a HSE programme, dressing services or materials not covered by the relevant scheme, and standalone therapeutic counselling. Please ask before booking, as some services may be covered where they form part of a HSE programme or special item of service.”
**Cervical screening is free for anyone with a cervix aged 25 to 64. Individuals will receive screening invitations for screening every 5 years during this age range.
