Covid tests and GP assessments are free of charge, including out of hours consultations, according to the HSE.
The HSE's moved to clarify the situation after some people were charged for the service.
In a statement, the Health Service Executive says rapid access to coronavirus testing is a fundamental part of its strategy to monitor the spread of Covid 19 in Ireland.
It says an agreement with GP representatives was extended in June to include out of hours services, in order for the public to avail of free assessments and tests.
