5 Easy steps
1. Visit your GP in Ireland and ask for a referral
2. Book your consultation by phoning Hillsborough Private Clinic. 04892688899 (from a landline) or 00442892688899 (from a mobile)

5. Claim reimbursement (HSE aim to reimburse within 30 days)
In order to claim reimbursement, you will require an invoice and receipt for proof of travel (eg a receipt from a shop in Hillsborough)
You do not require prior authorisation for any of our procedures as they are outpatient and daycase procedures.
