Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Limerick City 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 Limerick City?
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?
Find a quiet, private place with a good signal, keep your phone charged, and have your medication names and any recent readings to hand. Your doctor will call you at the time you booked.
Who can see my consultation details?
Your details are used to provide your care and are handled in line with GDPR. Consultations are confidential, exactly as they would be in a surgery.
What if I need a doctor in person in Limerick City tonight?
