MEDICAL CARDS

Our staff in Kildare Medical Centre care for a large population of medical card holders. If you would like to apply for a medical card or a GP visit card with our practice you can pick up a form at your local health office or download a form here <href=”http://www.hse.ie/eng/”>www.hse.ie for reasons of good clinical care, it is our usual policy to accept medical card applications only from those who live in reasonable proximity to our practice.

If you do not live in those postal areas, it is unlikely that we will be in a position to accept you and you should register with a Doctor closer to where you live.
You are officially accepted onto the medical card list once the HSE has completed the paperwork which can sometimes take several weeks. It is important to note that while the medical card will cover you for regular attendances and medications it does not cover all GP costs. The most usual services requested which are not covered by the medical card scheme are:

Dee TO Include
