Apply for your Medical Card Online!!

You can now apply for your medical card online!! This is a quicker, easier and stress-free way of applying for the medical card.

The online service is suitable for people who are likely to qualify for a medical card on income grounds. For the first time in the health service, in many cases, the assessment process is immediate and documentation is only required in cases where the medical card is being issued.

Eligible applicants will get their medical card quickly - there is a 15 DAY GUARANTEE for processing! This is down from 12-16 weeks.

If a person is not eligible on income grounds, the completion of the online application determines this immediately, and the person is provided with a written assessment of the application with 15 days. In such instances, the person may still be eligible on a discretionary basis, and should make an application in the normal way.

Go to the medical card website for more information or to apply / renew your medical card!
