I needed a form signed from my doctor to get a driving licence for a 70 year old. I was charged the normal price....because he took my blood pressure while there.....€55.Yes our Dr charge €20 for each form fill in and with a wait time of 2-4weeks as it’s done outside of practice hours
Why didn't you ring your GP? As can be seen different GPs act differently, the Department won't know this, only your GP will.I will turn 70 years shortly. I will apply for a medical card. Looking at the form to be completed I see that both my doctor and my wife's doctor have to complete a section of the form, to confirm that they will accept me as a patient under the medical card scheme.
Has anyone's doctor charged a fee to complete this form?
I won't turn 70 until next month. Can I submit the form early?
I rang the department that deals with medical cards today to ask a few questions and there was nobody available to answer any questions. When I wanted to leave a message I was told that their mail box was full and I was disconnected.
I think the person asking the question just wanted to get a "feel" for the various fees charged by doctors. You make it sound as if they did something wrong asking the question here.Why didn't you ring your GP? As can be seen different GPs act differently, the Department won't know this, only your GP will.
The time taken to ask us, plus ringing the Department would be more than ringing the only people who can provide the answer. If the answer is we charge, then ask us if it's "normal" and then move doctors or not.I think the person asking the question just wanted to get a "feel" for the various fees charged by doctors.
