    I dont know if there is a standard way of charging private patients for blood tests.
    I need a blood test every 6 months. my GP doesn't have a nurse and charges me the standard consultation fee of 55 to do it. He rings me with the results, as it's an ongong thing, no visit required.

    I could get it done in the local hospital for free, but between kids and work and the waiting time in the hospital, I usually pay the GP.

    BTW, The actual Blood tests are carried out for GPs free in Irish hospitals, but the GP, or the patient must bring the sample to the hospital. Some GPs charge a nominal fee to cover this.
