Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballinhassig 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 Ballinhassig?
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.
Do I have to travel to see the doctor?
No. Consultations take place by secure video or phone, so you can be at home in Ballinhassig — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
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.
What if I need a doctor in person in Ballinhassig 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. Cork, contact SouthDoc on 0818 355 999 — 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.
Is an online doctor consultation private and safe?
Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a face-to-face visit.
Can I claim an online GP visit on my health insurance?
Some private health insurers offer cashback or cover for GP visits, so check your policy. DrCall consultations are paid for privately by card.
