Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Castletown 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.

Will my employer accept an online sick cert?

A certificate issued after a genuine consultation with an Irish-registered doctor is normally accepted, but employer policies vary. If you are unsure, check with your employer or HR before you book.

Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.

What should I have ready for my online consultation?
