Frequently asked questions
How much does an online GP consultation in Ballinlough 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.
Do I need to download an app for a video GP appointment?
No. Your doctor contacts you by phone call or WhatsApp video call on the number you provide when booking. You do not need a DrCall account.
What if my connection is poor in Ballinlough?
Tell the doctor straight away. A normal phone call usually works even where video does not, and your doctor can call you back if the line drops.
Is an online doctor consultation private and safe?
Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a face-to-face visit.
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.
