The capped fee for an MAU patient is €550.

All of the above charges include the assessment fee and cost of all necessary investigations. In the event of the patient being admitted, the patient will only have to pay a €120 assessment fee.

Should admission be required following assessment, patients are required to have an appropriate level of private health insurance or the ability to self-pay.  Normal insurance shortfalls will apply when a patient attending the MAU is admitted as a patient, and patients should check their insurance cover in this regard.

Arranging appointments:

Your GP must call MAU to speak with the physician on-call on the day, once the patient has been accepted by the physician, please email [email protected] or you may also refer via Healthlink.
