Are there any links between the private and public healthcare systems like in England?

Partial Cover

This is the basic formula which allows access to an insurance company-approved network of doctors with a small payment per service (deductible) for:

• general medicine or specialist consultations,
• hospital care,
• healthcare when traveling abroad.

Full Cover

With this formula, patients have access to the company’s medical network without any deductibles: consultations are 100% covered by the company and the insured also benefits from travel insurance when abroad.

Complete Cover

This is the most expensive type of policy but also the one that guarantees the best cover for your and your family’s health in Portugal! And depending on your needs, complete cover is an investment that can be quickly returned. In fact, besides giving you access to a large network of practitioners approved by the insurance company in general and specialist medicine, this health insurance particularly ensures 100% payment of all visits and offers hospital care as well as travel assistance when abroad.

And if a physician outside the company’s network must be consulted either in Portugal or abroad, 80% of the advance fees will be covered by the company.

If you’re not very comfortable speaking Portuguese or are hesitant to express yourself in another language when discussing a healthcare issue, the COMPLETE policy is just for you: it allows access to English-speaking generalists and specialists. The COMPLETE policy also covers alternative medicine consultations: acupuncture, homeopathy, osteopathy are some of the rather costly practices covered by this policy.
