Get My Free ConsultationFrequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about treatment abroad, HSE refund support and how the process works.
Do I need to be on a waiting list?
No. Surgery Now states the scheme is available to any person who would be entitled to treatment in an Irish hospital.
How does the Cross Border Directive repayment work?
You usually pay for treatment first and then apply to the HSE for repayment afterwards, subject to eligibility and documentation.
Do I need a GP referral?
A GP referral is commonly required and is usually important for documentation.
How long does reimbursement usually take?
Surgery Now states reimbursement is usually received around 8–12 weeks after the HSE receives the completed application and supporting documentation.
Will the HSE cover flights or accommodation?
Often, travel and certain non-clinical costs are not covered. Surgery Now can help clarify what is typically excluded.
What happens after I submit the form?
