This pilot study examined the private out-of-pocket costs incurred by patients attending hospital outpatient consultations in Ireland. Data from 42 patients showed a median cost of \u20ac131 per visit and an average annual expense of \u20ac559, with additional burdens such as travel time, missed work, and caregiving needs. The findings highlight significant financial impacts on patients and call for larger studies to validate the tool and better assess these costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
