    • If a solicitor or a insurance company asks us to prepare a specific selection of medical notes, then there will be an associated charge, as this will require a doctor’s time to filter back through all the letters, notes, referrals, bloods, reports, scans and select the information which pertains to the solicitor’s enquiry or insurance company’s enquiry. Therefore there will be a charge for doctors time. This service is not covered under the GMS/DVC scheme and the charge applies for all patients.

    • The charge is dependent on the amount of time the doctor has to spend preparing the request, and is usually somewhere between €50 and €100.

*Fees are updated on a regular basis - While we try to keep the website up to date - we request you check the latest fees with our reception team as they are subject to change.

** Consultation fees with doctors are based on two problems (one big, one small) per consultation. If your GP deals with multiple additional problems, this may result in a higher consultation fee to account for the additional work generated. We think very carefully about our fees and endeavour to be as fair as possible when charging patients.
