Employers and, for Illness Benefit, the Department of Social Protection may ask for a medical certificate. Policies differ, so check what your employer or college requires before you book.
A certificate is never automatic. Your doctor must be satisfied, from your consultation, that you are genuinely unfit for work or study, and the certificate covers the period the doctor judges reasonable. Backdating is only possible where there is a clinical reason for it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Drumshanbo 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.
Can you backdate a sick cert for me in Drumshanbo?
Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.
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 Drumshanbo — or anywhere else in Ireland — and still see an Irish-registered GP.
Can I get a prescription or sick cert online in Drumshanbo?
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 if I need a doctor in person in Drumshanbo 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. Leitrim, contact Caredoc (north Leitrim) / NoWDOC (south Leitrim) — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. Caredoc’s north-west service (0818 365 399) covers north Leitrim; check the HSE finder for the right service for your part of the county. 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 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.
Can children see the online doctor?
DrCall is not intended for children under 3. For older children, a parent or guardian should make the booking and be with them during the consultation.
