Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Ballinakill cost?

A DrCall online consultation starts from €35. That covers your consultation, including a sick cert, repeat prescription or referral where clinically appropriate. Your card is only authorised when you book and is charged once a GP confirms your appointment.

What is an online doctor?

An online doctor is a registered doctor who consults with you remotely, by video or phone, instead of in a surgery. With DrCall you choose a time, tell us what is wrong, and your Irish-registered GP contacts you at your appointment.

Is an online doctor as good as seeing a GP in person in Ballinakill?

For many everyday problems, yes — much of a GP consultation is a conversation about your symptoms and history. Some problems do need an in-person examination, and your doctor will tell you if that is the case.

Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Ballinakill?

Yes, where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, and sick certs are available for work or college. DrCall cannot prescribe benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids or stimulants.

What happens after I book an appointment?

Your request goes to our team, who confirm it or suggest another time. Your card is only authorised at booking and is charged once your GP confirms. You will get an email at each step.

What if I need a doctor in person in Ballinakill tonight?

DrCall is an online service, so we cannot send a doctor to your door. For urgent in-person care when surgeries are closed in Co. Laois, contact MIDOC Laois — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. You can also find your nearest out-of-hours GP or emergency department on the HSE website. In an emergency call 112 or 999. If your concern suits a video or phone consultation, you can book DrCall any day.

Can I book a follow-up if I need one?

Yes. If your doctor wants to review you again they will say so, and you can simply book another appointment online.

Who can see my consultation details?

Your details are used to provide your care and are handled in line with GDPR. Consultations are confidential, exactly as they would be in a surgery.
