Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ring 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.
Is an “online Dr” a real doctor?
Yes. Every DrCall consultation is carried out by a doctor registered with the Irish Medical Council, following the same professional standards as a surgery visit.
Can an online Dr in Ring send me a prescription?
Where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate, yes — it is sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose. Some medicines cannot be prescribed online, such as benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants.
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 Ring — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
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.
What if I need a doctor in person in Ring 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. Waterford, contact Caredoc on 0818 300 365 — 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.
What if I need to be seen in person?
If a physical examination is needed, your doctor will explain why and advise on the best next step. In an emergency, call 112 or 999 or go to your nearest emergency department.
Which pharmacy will my prescription go to?
The pharmacy you choose when you book. If your doctor issues a prescription it is sent electronically to that pharmacy, so you can collect it close to Ring.
