The GP fee are to be paid on the spot, in cash and Euro only.
The x-ray clinic accepts creditcard but prefers cash.
Word of advice: visit your family physician and see if you can get the vaccinations that you need there. They'll be covered by your health insurance, if not completely then at least for the most part.
If you haven't had a update to your DKTP/DTAP shot in the last 10 years, get one prior. The one at the medical exam will cost you 35 euro.
