I'm confused, did he examine the samples and give the results or just take samples? If I have a problem I go to the doctor and she might take a blood sample or not and send it off but I pay separately for the analysis and just the normal doctors fee for the visit. I'm not in Ireland but it was the same when I was.
Hi truthseeker thanks for your reply. Will a gp's office give out that information? Are they obliged to do so?
Another thought should the doctor have forewarned my friend of the cost implications of the tests he proposed to do? She tells me he didn't give her any indication, did the tests and then told her the price?
There is no doubt Mosstown is right - doctors have licence to print money. Despite all the gloom etc local doctors increased visit fees from €40 to €50 on 1st January. My daughter brought her child last week thinking thinking her child had chicken pox. In 30 seconds the doctor confirmed the child did not have chicken pox - charge €50.
Hi Mac 36,
I work in the same area & your friend has been screwed & that GP should be reported.However I find it nearly impossible to believe that he/she was charged this much.If true,it should be reported!
