Did your relative ask the GP to agree and to complete Part 8 of the Form?Just like a lot of GPs are not taking on new patients either medical card or not are they also refusing in some cases to take on the over 70s GP visit card?

As we have a shortage of GP's many are unable to accept new patients as their books are already full.
It's unlikely that some of that age does not already have a GP or has the relative not had a discussion with him
I believe it is annual capitation - currently €403 - higher if the patient is in a nursing home. There are also other general support fees for GP practices.Side bar question on over 70s card.
Are GPs paid per visit of the patient or do they receive a capitation payment per patient per year ?
You'll both be grand!Was into my local GP on Tuesday for bloods, etc. Told him I'd be turning 70 next March and would I have any problem with the free GP visits. He just smiled at me and asked why did I think there would be any problems? Told me, "you'll be grand". I'll take that as an ok.
