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

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 Ring?
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.

A typical consultation lasts around 15 minutes, though your doctor will take the time they need to help you properly.

Some private health insurers offer cashback or cover for GP visits, so check your policy. DrCall consultations are paid for privately by card.
