Help and informaon
Who can apply for a Medical Card or a GP Visit Card?
Anyone who is ordinarily resident in the Republic of Ireland
can apply - families, single people, even those working full
or part me. Ordinarily resident means that you are living
here and intend to live here for at least one year.
I am aged between 16 and 25. How do I apply?
1. If you have a weekly income of less than €164 and
you are either living with your parent(s) or living away
from their home aending school or college, and your
parent(s) has a Medical Card or a GP Visit Card, you
must complete Parts 1A, 1C, 1D, 5, and 6 of this form.
Your doctor of choice must complete Part 6A.
2. If you have a weekly income of less than €164 a week
and you are either living with your parent(s) or living
away from their home aending school or college, and
your parent(s) don’t have a Medical Card or a GP Visit
Card, your parent(s) must complete all parts of this
form.
3. If you have a weekly income of €164 or more, you must
complete all parts of this form.
4. If you live away from your parental home for any reason
other than aending school or college, you must
complete all parts of this form.
How do I qualify for a Medical Card or a GP Visit Card?
Firstly, we will look at your household income aer tax,
PRSI and the Universal Social Charge (USC) have been
deducted. We also take rent, mortgage, childcare and
travel to work costs into account. If the resulng gure is
less than the income qualifying limits, you and your family
dependants will be issued with a card.
For informaon on the current income qualifying limits
that apply to your family size, Callsave 1890 252 919 or
see our website www.medicalcard.ie.
Will my savings and investments be taken into
account when assessing my income for Medical Card or
GP Visit Card eligibility?
We will not take into account savings or investments of
amounts:
up to €36,000 for a single person, or
up to €72,000 for a couple.
Also, we will not take into account any amount received
from certain state sponsored compensaon or redress
schemes or any interest earned on the investment of these
funds.
For informaon on the specic compensaon or redress
schemes covered by this secon, please see
www.medicalcard.ie or phone Callsave 1890 252 919.
What if my household income is over the qualifying
limits?
If this is the case, you and your family dependants may
be granted a Medical Card or a GP Visit Card if you have
dicult personal circumstances that cause you nancial
pressure - for example a family member with a chronic
illness. You need to send evidence with your completed
applicaon form in support of these circumstances,
for example, a medical report and or medical expense
receipts.
If I get a Medical Card or a GP Visit Card, does it cover my
family too?
If your family income falls within the qualifying income
limits, the card will cover you, your spouse or partner, and
your children under 16 years of age.
If your children are aged 16 to 25 and are receiving weekly
income less than €164, and living with you or living away from
you to aend school or college, they will also get a card. They
must ll out their own applicaon form and send it to us to
receive a card.
How do I qualify for a Medical Card under European
Union (EU) Regulaons?
You will qualify for a Medical Card under EU Regulaons if
you meet all of the following requirements:
you are ordinarily resident in the Republic of Ireland,
you are insured under the social security legislaon
of another EU/EEA member state or Switzerland, that
means receiving a social security pension from that
state or working and paying social insurance in that
state, and
you are not subject to Irish social security legislaon
- you are subject to Irish social security legislaon if
you are receiving a contributory Irish social welfare
payment or if you are subject to PRSI in the Irish state.
If you meet the above requirements, you can claim your
entlement to a Medical Card by sending us:
a completed applicaon form, and
the relevant E or S form issued by the EU/EEA
member state (or Switzerland) you are insured with.
UK insured persons applying under EU Regulaons should
send us a leer of conrmaon from the UK Pensions
Board or a recent payslip (if employed in UK) in place of
the E or S form.
