Over 70 GP Visit Card

If you are over 70 and living in Ireland, you are eligible to register for a GP Visit Card, regardless of your income. This card allows you to access general practitioner (GP) services without having to pay any fees, making it easier to get the medical care you need as you age. The GP Visit Card covers consultations with your doctor and, in some cases, certain other services provided by your GP.

Everyone over 70 living in Ireland can apply, and the process is straightforward. You can register online through the official Health Service Executive (HSE) website, which provides clear instructions and the necessary forms. Having a GP Visit Card can help you manage your health more effectively, as it encourages regular check-ups and timely medical attention without the worry of additional costs.

Once registered, your card will remain valid as long as you meet the eligibility criteria, giving you ongoing access to GP services. If you have any questions about the application process or the benefits of the card, the HSE website and local GP offices can provide guidance and support.
