Administrative and Medical Fees
In certain clinical or administrative situations outside the context of a medical consultation, an administrative medical services fee may apply. This measure recognises the clinical and technical time dedicated to assessing the request and ensures the safety and responsibility inherent in medical practice.
The applicable fees are:
Renewal of medical prescriptions and requests for diagnostic and therapeutic tests — €25
Applicable when the issuing or renewal of prescriptions and/or requests for diagnostic and therapeutic tests (MCDTs) requires a clinical reassessment of your medical record, namely:
-
Renewal of prescriptions or requests for MCDTs where more than 12 months have elapsed since the last consultation, with clinical reassessment of the situation;
-
Issuing a prescription originally prescribed by another doctor, outside the context of a consultation;
-
Reissuing medical documents for an exceptional reason, outside the practice's usual protocol;
-
Reissuing prescriptions due to legal deficiencies or exceptional requests outside the practice's usual protocol.
-
Preparation of medical reports for insurers or other organisations requiring detailed clinical information, beyond the list of diagnoses (ICPC-2).
This service always requires a clinical reassessment of your medical record, documented in your clinical records. Where the information available is insufficient to allow a safe decision to be made, you will be advised to book a consultation.
Between-Visit Review | Interim consultation with Medical opinion – €80
Applicable to the extraordinary clinical assessment of laboratory results or other diagnostic tests between consultations and to the provision of a medical opinion, including, where clinically indicated:
-
New prescription or adjustment of the treatment plan, where more than 3 months have elapsed since the last consultation.
Whenever the results or clinical situation warrant it, for example because they involve multiple parameters, require in-depth discussion or indicate the need for a more comprehensive reassessment, a consultation, either in person or by telemedicine, will be recommended instead of a written response.
Administrative Services (free of charge)
Requests that are purely administrative in nature are not subject to fees, namely:
-
Booking, changing or cancelling appointments;
-
Sending documents that have already been issued within the relevant dates (duplicate prescriptions, reports or medical certificates already on file, with no change to their content);
-
Enquiries regarding billing, insurance or registration details.
Important Notes
Payment of the above fees must be made in advance of the relevant medical service, and the corresponding receipt/invoice will be issued.
These fees allow us to continue providing a high-quality service with the level of care and dedication that our patients deserve, whilst respecting everyone's time.
This fee schedule does not apply to clinical emergencies. In such situations, you should contact the SNS 24 helpline (808 24 24 24) or attend the nearest Accident and Emergency department.
