Re: Private Medical Insurance
The original question is incomplete; are we talking about temporary cover for a few months until national health is available, or ongoing supplementary cover?
Then there seems to be some confusion between health providers and health insurance, which are separate. One provides, the other (hopefully) pays for it. In the Algarve, there are 2 major private hospital groups, Lusiadas and HPA. In Lisbon CUF seems dominant but there are many more. There are many insurance plans too, who charge different amounts for different levels of cover and patient age. Some people prefer the "free" government provided health care system. That's a different discussion that we've had a few times before. So; to answer the question, we really need a more complete question. |
