Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Emo 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.

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