A new online medical card is being launched by the HSE next week. It is promised to be a safe, quick and easy way to find out if you are eligible and register online. Almost 440,000 applications for a medical card were received in 2017. A medical card issued by the HSE means you can receive certain health services free of charge. Normally, your total income is taken into account in the means test for the medical card.
