Health is a precious commodity.<\/p>

For you, who are concerned about your well-being and above all want quality service in the field of medical assistance, we have specialists at your disposal to explain the insurance solutions offered by the Insurers.<\/p>

There are two types of Health Insurance:\u00a0
- Reimbursement Insurance - The insured person pays his expenses and the Company reimburses him, afterwards.\u00a0
- Conventional Network Insurance - The insured person uses the services in the agreed Hospitals, Clinics and Doctors, having only to pay the appropriate co-payment (e.g. M\u00e9dis, Multicare, etc.)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n

In the event of a serious illness (cancer, cardiovascular disease, organ transplants or stroke, for example), the insurer obtains a second medical opinion on the diagnosis or treatment to be followed from specialists worldwide.<\/p> <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n

International medical cover for serious illness<\/i><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

  • Speed - In the National Health Service, access to routine consultations and emergencies may not be immediate, health insurance allows you access to health care more quickly.<\/li>
  • Freedom - How many times have you thought it would be better to change doctors? Health insurance allows you to choose the doctor that suits you best and in the place that is most favourable for you.\u00a0<\/li>
  • Flexibility - Health insurance gives you the opportunity to use medical care through a network of providers. However, you can always go to a provider that is not part of the agreed network and, in this case, your health insurance will cover part of the health costs. In this way, you always have access to the best medical care at very attractive prices, regardless of the time, place and practitioner.\u00a0<\/li>
  • Always by your side - Health insurance is not only a resource in emergency situations. Health insurance is a product that allows you to maintain the desired health, investing in prevention and in regular consultations that allow you to monitor your state of health providing the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.\u00a0<\/li>
  • For the whole family - Health insurance can be taken out for all family members, supporting and protecting your children from the first day of their life.<\/li><\/ul><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

          Os designados “co-pagamentos”, ou seja, o valor que cabe a cada Pessoa Segura pagar quando recorre aos prestadores de cuidados de sa\u00fade aderentes \u00e0 rede convencionada, s\u00e3o estipulados por tipo de garantia e por cada utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o, podendo ser um valor fixo ou corresponder a uma percentagem do custo do ato m\u00e9dico.<\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

          \n\t\t\t\t

          Period from which the contracted guarantees start to take effect. For example, in the case of out-patient cover, the Insured Persons only start taking advantage of the insurance, normally after 90 days have elapsed. In the case of Childbirth the waiting period is normally 365 days. In case of an accident no waiting period normally applies.<\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

          \n\t\t\t\t

          Recently, in order not to increase insurance premiums, insurers have opted to introduce an annual excess for outpatient cover (consultations). They set an amount of expenses (usually between \u20ac25.00 and \u20ac50.00) up to which the insurance does not cover the expenses incurred. In practice, as a result of the existence of this deductible, the 1st consultation will have to be paid in full by the Insured Person<\/p> <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
