Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Pettigo 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 Pettigo?

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

What happens after I book an appointment?

Your request goes to our team, who confirm it or suggest another time. Your card is only authorised at booking and is charged once your GP confirms. You will get an email at each step.

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.
