Against waiting or paying in Ireland
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for a health check-up in Ireland.
Can the HSE pay?
From Ireland (HSE): Greece is one of the EU countries listed for the Cross Border Directive scheme. You pay the provider yourself and then claim back the smaller of what you paid and what the same care would cost in the Irish public system; travel and hotels are not covered, and you need a referral from a GP or a consultant you saw as a public patient. HSE: Cross Border Directive, how much you can claim.
Planning the trip from Ireland
- Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for a health check-up and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
- Before you goMost packages need you to fast from the night before. Book a morning slot.
- Before you goAsk what happens if a test finds something: is a specialist available the same week, and at what price?
- Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
- LanguageGreek; private hospitals and clinics that take foreign patients work in English.
- After you returnBring the full report to your doctor, not just the summary page.
- After you returnTreat a "borderline" or "follow up" note as a reason to see your doctor, not as a diagnosis.

Health check-up in Greece from Ireland: questions
How much is a health check-up in Greece for Irish patients?
The published prices we found work out at €69–€195 at the clinic, from IASO General Clinic (IASO Group). Adding a rough travel estimate of €430 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about €499. Your own fares and dates will change that part.
Is it cheaper than paying privately in Ireland?
We have not verified a self-pay price in Ireland for this, so compare the trip total with a written quote from a provider at home.
How long is the wait for a health check-up in Ireland?
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in Ireland.
How many days do I need in Greece?
Half a day to one day for most packages; packages with endoscopy or several scans can take two days. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will the HSE pay for it?
Possibly in part: the Cross Border Directive scheme refunds up to what the same care costs in the Irish public system, after you have paid and with a referral.
