If you are living in Ireland you have to know about the employer's duty to pay social insurance (PRSI) to be able to enjoy the Health care services privided by the Republic of Ireland. Public health care for people coming to Ireland. This section explains Social Insurance (PRSI) and who it covers.
It outlines:
- the Pay-Related Social Insurance (PRSI) contributions payable by employees, employers and self-employed people
- Credited Contributions ('credits')
- Voluntary Contributions
If you are a European Union (EU)/EEA/Swiss national or if you are normally resident in Ireland, you are entitled to receive the same level of health care as Irish citizens. Depending on your income, you may be eligible for a medical card, which entitles you to the full range of medical services at no cost.
A medical card issued by the Health Service Executive (HSE) in Ireland enables the bearer to receive certain health services free of charge.
If you are issued with a medical card, the card would normally cover you and your dependent spouse and child dependants. (In other words, your dependent spouse and children would normally be entitled to certain health services free of charge also). Medical cards are small plastic cards (similar in size to a credit card). Everyone in Ireland that is over 70 years that is normally resident here, is entitled to a medical card regardless of means.
Unless you have a medical card, visits to family doctors in Ireland are not free. The GP Visit Card was announced in 2005 as an initiative to assist those who did not qualify for a medical card on income grounds but for whom the cost of visiting a GP was often prohibitively high.
