Fees

We strive to provide a fair and efficient service for all our patients. To support this, we require that all accounts be settled at the time of consultation. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy.

​

We accept cash, card, and cheque payments, and outstanding balances can also be paid over the phone. If you have an outstanding balance, you may receive an SMS with a secure payment link.

​

Patients with outstanding balances must clear their balance in full before booking further appointments.

Below is an outline of our general fees. Please note that nurse consultation fees may vary depending on the service provided. If a fee is not listed, please check with reception.

Why Are Some Services Not Covered?

The services included under the Medical Card and GP Visit Card schemes are determined nationally by the HSE and the Department of Health.

The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO), the representative body for GPs, provides guidance on services excluded under the national GP contract. These rules apply to all GP practices in Ireland.

If you are unsure whether a service is covered, please contact our team — we are happy to clarify before booking.
