Repeat prescriptions
You can request a repeat prescription for a long-term medication in two ways: via e-Perearstikeskus (one of the digital platforms family centres can use) or by calling +372 613 8887 (Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00).
Standard repeat prescription: ready within 5 working days.
For an acute illness: prescription issued on the same day.
Prescription validity: a single prescription is valid for 60 days; a triple prescription is valid for 180 days.
You can check the status of your prescriptions at terviseportaal.ee (Digilugu). Prescriptions appear automatically in your digital health record and are visible to pharmacies directly.
Sick leave and carer's leave
Opening a sick leave certificate (töövõimetusleht — Estonian digital incapacity certificate) requires that you report your illness on the same day. Backdating is not legally permitted.
- Report illness via e-Perearstikeskus or by phone.
- To extend sick leave: follow the agreed follow-up dates with your doctor.
- Fell ill at the weekend: call 1220 (until 22:00), visit A&E, or call an ambulance. Present the doctor's certificate within two working days.
Health certificates
Several health certificates are fee-paying services not covered by health insurance. Payment is by card on-site (cabinet 104, Sepapaja 12/1, 3rd floor).
