Default health insurance: Well's Plano de saude

Hi,

I could not find anything about Plano de Saude Well's via Continente card.
I called the private hospital to make an appointment for the dermatologist. The fee is EUR 75 for a consult. If I would have the Continente card I pay EUR 42, they told me.
That is really an advantage!

I read to different things:
I read I can use the Continente card 15 days after inscription for Well's saude
And I read in another article that I need to have spend 300 EUR in the last 6 months at Continente. This means that I can use it only after 6 months.

Has anyone experience with this?
Thanks

I read that on top of the discounted price I receive 15% on my Continente card.
Not bad at all.

I don't think you get 15% discount on everything. My discount does not come near that so it may be only on Continente brand products.

No the 15% is only valid in the plano saude Well's. So the price I pay at the clinic using my Continente card, will credit 15% on my card.
With Continente card I pay EUR 42 instead of EUR 75 (info I got from the private hospital in Alvor). AND 15% of EUR 42 is credited on my card (= EUR 6.30).
So thanks to Continente the cost for the consult is EUR 35.70 instead of EUR 75.
I need to wait until April to see wether this is really happening!

No, thank you Pilou. We have had a Continente card for more years than we can remember and didn't know about this. Just last month we could have used it for Lusiades and HPA!
