葡萄牙外籍人士健康保险:私人保险选项
葡萄牙外籍人士私人医疗保险

Health insurance Portugal typically means one of two things: public coverage through the Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS) once you’re registered and have an SNS user number (Número Nacional de Utente / NNU), and private health insurance you choose to add for faster access and wider provider choice.

For most expats, the experience of medical care Portugal comes down to timing. The SNS is the backbone of healthcare Portugal, and since 1 June 2022 user fees ended in almost all SNS services, with payment mainly limited to specific emergency-department scenarios. But registration can take time depending on your local health unit, expat communities regularly report being asked to submit documents by email and waiting for the NNU (Utente number) to be issued.

That’s why Private healthcare Portugal is so common among newcomers and internationally mobile residents: it can help you bridge the gap while you complete registration, reduce waiting times for specialists, and make it easier to find English-speaking providers, especially outside Lisbon, Algarve and Porto. For non-urgent guidance while you’re settling in, the official SNS digital front door is SNS24, which supports triage and direction to the right level of care.

In this guide, you’ll learn how health insurance works in Portugal, and how private plans compare, so you can choose the setup that fits your move, budget, and risk profile.

葡萄牙的私人医疗保健

葡萄牙的私人医疗保健 通常是希望更快获得 葡萄牙的医疗保健、选择更多专家以及获得公共系统中受限服务(尤其是牙科和眼科)的人们的“快速通道”选择。它与 葡萄牙的医疗保健的公共系统(即 Serviço Nacional de Saúde - SNS)并存,许多居民会同时使用两者:SNS用于基础护理和紧急情况,私人医疗用于速度、便利性和特定覆盖范围。

私人保险覆盖范围持续增长。到 2023年底,葡萄牙保险商协会(APS)报告称 约370万人 在葡萄牙拥有健康保险。保险监管机构观察站(ASF)还报告称 2023年有390万人投保,以及 2024年约406万人投保,显示出持续增长。

葡萄牙的健康保险是什么?

葡萄牙的健康保险 是一种为 健康保险覆盖范围 在私人部门支付的政策,并可补充 公共健康保险 (SNS)。许多居民使用 私人健康保险 以获得更快的准入和更广泛的服务提供商选择,同时仍依赖SNS进行基础护理。

葡萄牙的医疗保健对外籍人士如何运作?

葡萄牙的医疗保健 对外籍人士通常是混合的:在正确注册后,SNS用于基础覆盖,加上 外籍人士健康保险 (私人或 国际健康保险)以获得更快的准入、更广泛的服务提供商选择以及牙科/视力等额外服务。许多外籍人士使用私人医疗以获得常规/专家服务的速度,并将 SNS作为基础。

外籍人士常选择私人医疗保健的原因

外籍人士最常提到的三个原因是:

  • 更快的准入 咨询、诊断和许多选择性手术(尤其是与公共排队相比)。
  • 更多的服务提供商选择 (包括英语医生,尤其是在大城市和私人医院集团)。
  • 覆盖缺口:牙科、眼科以及有时更广泛的门诊选项更容易通过私人方式包装。

除了所有这些原因,还有 需要遵守 AIMA规则。虽然对于签证,外国人必须提供旅行保险,但AIMA关于医疗保健的要求与不同,因为它必须显示您的长期意图。

拥有SNS用户号码(número de utente)并不意味着您的SNS费用已被覆盖。葡萄牙政府指出,覆盖范围取决于您的注册信息是否包含关键数据(例如,身份证、NIF、葡萄牙地址以及适用时的有效居留授权)。这是外籍人士论坛中常见的痛点,尤其是在人们仍在规范其身份状态时。

公共医疗保险覆盖哪些内容?

公共医疗保险 (SNS) 覆盖基本的 医疗治疗,包括通过初级护理和 医院护理提供的许多 医疗服务。访问和覆盖取决于正确的注册(及相关的资格数据),并且非紧急途径的等待时间可能是一个限制因素。

葡萄牙的医疗保险与医疗计划

当外籍人士比较私人选项时,最重要的决定通常是 医疗保险 (seguro) 与 医疗计划(plano/cartão)。

医疗保险 (seguro de saúde)

一种 医疗保险 产品将风险转移给保险公司:您支付保费,保单支付或报销已覆盖的服务(受上限、自付费用、排除和等待期的限制)。

典型覆盖内容包括

  • 门诊咨询和诊断检查
  • 住院和手术
  • 专科护理
  • 可选模块(通常包括牙科、视力、产科、心理健康)

优点

  • 高成本事件的更广泛保护 (医院护理、手术、复杂诊断)。
  • 网络 + (通常)报销选项 如果您在网络之外就医(取决于计划)。
  • 可配置 适用于家庭和附加功能。

缺点

  • 按年龄定价 很常见,保费可能随时间显著上升。
  • 等待期 是标准的(产科和某些治疗通常等待时间更长)。
  • 既往症 可能被排除、限制,或者仅在满足条件后才覆盖(外籍人士经常提到这一点)。

外籍人士的评价

  • 许多人强调“心理安慰”和更快的专科接入。
  • 反复警告:等待期和既往症限制。

医疗计划 (plano de saúde / cartão de descontos)

一种 医疗计划 通常像 折扣卡 在提供商网络中运作:它降低了您支付的价格,但它 不是保险 (它通常不像保险公司那样承担风险)。消费者组织和葡萄牙保险监管机构强调这一点。

优点

  • 通常比保险 便宜。
  • 通常 进入门槛更低 (通常没有健康问卷;排除更少)。
  • 适用于 常规护理 (全科医生就诊、基本检查)以协商价格。

缺点

  • 折扣通常仅适用于 网络内。
  • 通常 住院/手术的保护较弱,成本可能迅速上升。
  • 与受监管的保险产品相比,消费者保护较少。

外籍人士的评价

  • 人们喜欢常规预约的简单性。
  • 许多人保留保险以应对“大额”风险,并使用计划作为更便宜的补充。

许多居留程序需要提供健康保险证明,而非折扣计划。例如,欧盟注册证书 (CRUE)文件根据您的身份状况包含健康保障要求。而葡萄牙签证指南通常要求符合入境/居留条件的医疗保险。虽然“plano/cartão”可能帮助您节省费用,但通常不被视为保险,因为它不提供保险覆盖。

How to get health insurance in Portugal?

A practical guide to getting health insurance starts with your status and timing: you may need proof for a residence permit, and you’ll typically choose either an insurance policy or a health insurance plan (discount card). After arrival/registration, you’ll also want your SNS health insurance card / user number (número de utente) aligned with your documents. 

Major private healthcare providers in Portugal (what to expect)

Portugal has several established private insurance brands and hospital networks. The “best” choice usually depends on:

  • where you live (network density in your region),
  • whether you want reimbursement outside the network,
  • your age, dependents, and health history,
  • whether you need add-ons (dental/vision/maternity/mental health).

Below are providers expats mention frequently, and what typically differentiates them:

What are the best private health insurance options?

The best private health insurance options depend on your city and needs. Start by shortlisting insurance companieswith strong networks where you live, then compare health insurance on: hospitalization limits, outpatient caps, reimbursement rules, waiting periods, and exclusions. For most expats, “best private health insurance” means the plan that fits their likely usage (routine care vs high-cost risk) at a sustainable premium. 

1) Médis

Services: Médis offers a range of comprehensive health insurance plans that include outpatient care, hospitalization, dental services, and mental health coverage.

Their plans are known for providing access to a broad network of healthcare providers across Portugal, with 24/7 customer support through their mobile app. They also offer specialized plans for seniors and families.

Main Plans:

  • Médis Light: A budget-friendly plan with basic coverage, ideal for younger individuals.
  • Médis Senior: Tailored for older clients, this plan includes coverage for chronic illnesses and conditions related to aging.
  • Médis Dental: Offers extensive dental coverage at reduced rates.

Client Opinions: Médis's easy-to-use app and extensive provider network earn it high respect.Expats praise Médis for its efficient customer service and rapid reimbursement processes. However, some users have noted that payments increase significantly with age, and there are some limitations regarding coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Pricing: Prices start as low as €8.30 per month for young adults and increase based on age and coverage level.

  • Often chosen for: broad provider network, digital tools/app experience, family-style plans.
  • Good usability and service experiences; recurring concerns about price increases with age and pre-existing limits (common across the market).

2) Allianz Portugal

Services: Allianz offers four distinct health insurance plans, ranging from basic coverage for consultations and hospitalizations to more comprehensive options covering oncology and maternity services. Allianz is also known for its global reach, making it a wonderful option for expats who frequently travel.

Main Plans:

  • Allianz Base: Includes hospitalizations and some outpatient care, with access to a network of healthcare providers.
  • Allianz Extra: Covers a broader range of services, including surgeries, specialized treatments, and partial reimbursement for services outside their network.
  • Allianz Total: Their most comprehensive plan, which includes high coverage for serious illnesses such as cancer and access to top-tier hospitals and specialists.

Pricing: Prices start at €20 per month for basic coverage and go up depending on the level of services chosen.

  • Often chosen for: global brand familiarity; useful if you value travel-related continuity (depending on product).
  • Employer plans can be cost-effective; coverage specifics vary heavily by tier.

3) Fidelidade / Multicare

Services: As the largest health insurance provider in Portugal, Fidelidade’s Multicare brand offers a wide variety of plans, ranging from basic healthcare coverage to more specialized options like mental health and maternity care.

  • Multicare Dental: specialized dental coverage with access to a vast network of dental clinics.
  • Multicare Senior: Tailored for older adults, providing coverage for chronic illnesses and in-home care.

Client Opinion: Clients highly value Multicare's extensive network of healthcare providers and the flexibility of their plans. Many customers highlight the quality of customer service and quick claim processing times. However, as with many providers, prices increases with age are a common complaint.

Pricing: Monthly premiums start at €20 and increase with age and level of coverage.

  • Often chosen for: scale and network footprint; many tiered options.
  • Strong network satisfaction, with the usual premium escalation over time.

4) Ageas Seguros

Services: Ageas offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to cater to different needs, including family coverage, senior plans, and dental insurance. They are particularly known for their cancer treatment coverage, which offers high reimbursement limits for oncology services.

Main Plans:

  • Ageas Família: Provides family coverage, with options to add dependents at discounted rates.
  • Ageas Sénior: focused on elderly clients, offering extended coverage for chronic illnesses and home care.

Pricing: Prices start at €10.90 per month for basic coverage.

  • Often chosen for: bundled family-style offerings and varied tiers; check oncology and high-cost event coverage limits carefully.
  • Always verify current terms; expat recommendations are usually coverage-specific.

外籍人士常常推荐Ageas给那些寻求专业护理的人,尤其是重大疾病。然而,一些用户提到,他们的低端计划可能会显得有限,尤其是与更全面的计划相比。

博客信息

Ageas 曾经是为那些在葡萄牙没有常规身份的移民提供保险服务的主要保险提供商。然而,我们目前没有找到支持这一情况的任何信息。

7) Medicare

服务: Medicare 是葡萄牙的健康计划提供商,专注于通过其广泛的服务提供商网络提供折扣医疗服务。虽然它不作为传统健康保险运作,但 Medicare 非常适合寻求无需全面医院保险的个人和家庭,以获得经济实惠的医疗选项。Medicare 的服务包括医生咨询、诊断检查、牙科护理和某些专科服务的折扣。

定价: Medicare 计划从每月约 €20 开始,使其成为可用的最经济实惠的医疗选项之一。这种低成本特别吸引那些寻求补充保险或基本医疗需求而无需全面私人保险的人。

健康保险的成本是多少?

健康保险的成本主要因年龄、保险覆盖水平、自付费用、排除和附加服务而异。对于私人健康保险,每月成本可以从低入门级别到高端家庭套餐。找到经济实惠的健康保险的最可靠方法是将计划与您的可能使用情况匹配: 常规咨询 vs. 专科密集型需求 vs. 医院保险覆盖。

比较不同年龄组的价格和计划

以下是基于年龄组的来自葡萄牙一些最受欢迎的私人健康保险提供商的价格范围比较:

服务提供商 类型 “最基础”入门价格(根据您的文本) 最适合 注意事项

How to get health insurance in Portugal?

A good guide to getting health insurance starts with timing. Many expats secure private coverage early (especially if it’s needed for a residence permit) and then register locally for SNS access. Depending on your status, you may also need a health insurance card (or equivalent proof of insurance), and some people choose a health insurance plan (discount program) for routine care while keeping an insurance policy for hospital-risk protection.

How to hire health insurance in Portugal?

Hiring health insurance in Portugal is generally straightforward, but it works best when you treat it as a decision about risk, not just a monthly price.

As an expat, private health insurance can add an extra layer of protection beyond the public system, especially when you want faster access or clearer coverage for specific services.

Below is a step-by-step guide, from choosing a provider to understanding the documentation required.

1) Check your healthcare needs

Before you start looking for health insurance, it’s essential to assess your needs. Ask yourself:

  • Do you need individual or family coverage?
  • Are you looking for basic coverage, or do you want a more comprehensive plan that includes dental, mental health, and chronic illness care?
  • Do you have pre-existing conditions that might affect your choice?
  • How often do you use medical services? Do you need frequent specialist appointments, diagnostics, or possible surgeries?

The clearer you are here, the easier it becomes to choose a plan that balances coverage and cost.

2) Compare health insurance providers (the right way)

Portugal offers a wide variety of providers, each with different tiers. To find the best fit, compare options from top providers like Médis, Allianz, Fidelidade/Multicare, Ageas, MGEN, and others that match your profile.

You can either research online or use a broker to guide you.

What to compare

  • Coverage: outpatient care, hospitalization, surgeries, specialist consultations, diagnostics.
  • Exclusions: especially pre-existing conditions and any “grey zones” (what is and isn’t covered).
  • Waiting periods: common for maternity, some surgeries, and certain high-cost benefits.
  • Network: clinics, hospitals, and specialists near your residence (critical if you live outside major cities).
  • Cost: monthly/annual premiums, copays, deductibles/franchises, and reimbursement rules.

Most companies offer tiered plans, so it’s normal to start at an entry level and upgrade later, just make sure you understand what changes across tiers.

3) Decide whether to use a broker

As an expat, you might find it helpful to use a broker to simplify the process.

Brokers specialize in market comparisons and can help you interpret insurance language, especially if you’re new to Portuguese systems or terms.

Pros of using a broker

  • They do the legwork of comparing policies and (sometimes) negotiating conditions.
  • They explain exclusions, coverage limits, and legal/contractual details.
  • They may have access to special campaigns, bundles, or discounts.

If you prefer to handle it yourself, most insurers offer simple online application flows.

When a broker adds the most value?
  • You’re unfamiliar with Portuguese insurance terminology
  • You want side-by-side comparisons across multiple insurers
  • You have a complex profile (family plan, older age, chronic conditions, maternity planning, etc.)

4) Request a quote (what you’ll be asked for)

Most insurers provide online forms to generate a personalized quote.

You will generally need:

  • Personal details: full name, date of birth, nationality.
  • Residency information: mainly your address.
  • Health information: often a short health questionnaire (pre-existing conditions, past surgeries, ongoing treatments).
  • Family details: spouse/children, if applying for family coverage.

Some providers may request additional documentation or even a brief medical evaluation for certain tiers or profiles.

请至少获取2-3份报价,使用相同的假设(相同的附加功能和类似的共付结构),以便进行同类比较。为此,您需要一个NIF。

博客信息

5) 仔细审阅保险条款

签字前,请审阅条款并确保您理解以下内容:

  • 保额限制: 住院、手术、专科护理和诊断的最高金额。
  • 排除条款和既往症: 哪些情况被排除,哪些情况受限,以及在什么条件下某些情况可能被纳入保障范围。
  • 报销选项: 您是否可以选择网络外的医疗机构,以及报销的比例是多少。
  • 等待期: 保障何时开始,以及哪些福利会被延迟。

如果有任何不清楚的地方,请在签字前要求保险公司或经纪人进行说明。

6) 提交您的申请

在满意后,提交您的申请。

  • 在线: 许多保险公司允许完全电子化的流程(包括支付设置)。
  • 通过经纪人: 经纪人通常处理表格并确保提交的准确性。

根据保险公司的要求,您可能需要提供身份证明、住址/居住证明或健康相关文件。

7) 设置支付

保险公司通常提供月付、季付或年付。许多保险公司如果您一次性支付全年保费,会提供折扣。

常见的支付方式:

  • 银行自动扣款: 从葡萄牙银行账户(IBAN)扣款。
  • 信用卡: 根据保险公司的不同而定。

8) 收到您的保险卡

在批准并确认支付后,您将收到您的健康保险卡 (数字和/或实体)。您将在就医时使用它,如果适用,还将用于提交报销申请。

常见所需文件

  • 居留许可 或合法居住证明(并非总是强制性要求,但通常根据保险公司的不同而要求)。
  • 健康记录: 高级别计划或特定人群的简要医疗史。
  • 银行信息: IBAN或卡片信息用于支付。

9) 开始使用您的健康保险

保障开始后,您可以开始使用您的计划。

  • 网络内提供者: 您通常支付共付费用(或根据计划,有时不需要支付)。
  • 网络外提供者: 您通常需要先行支付,然后提交报销申请。

大多数保险公司提供应用程序来:

  • 查找网络内的医生和医院
  • 提交申请并上传文件
  • 跟踪支出、限额和报销

这是外国人更喜欢私人保险的主要原因之一:它使在葡萄牙医疗保健的导航更加可预测,特别是在定居的第一年。

医疗服务的等待时间是多少?

等待时间 因地区、专科和紧急程度而异。在公共系统中,非紧急医疗服务可能需要更长的时间,特别是在公立医院需求高和某些专科超额预约的情况下。许多外国人特意使用私人保险以减少私人医疗服务的延迟,例如专科咨询、影像学检查和选择性护理。

Health insurance from banks in Portugal

Several Portuguese banks offer health insurance products through partnerships with major insurers. For many expats, this can be a convenient way to bundle financial services and private healthcare Portugal access, especially if you prefer managing everything inside one app or banking portal.

That said, it’s important to understand what you’re buying. Bank-distributed products can be either:

  • a true health insurance policy (with coverage, limits, exclusions, and claims rules), or
  • a health plan/discount card model (lower prices in a network, but not the same as insured coverage).

Your original point is valid in practice: some bank offers can look “plan-like” because they emphasize network discounts and simplicity. However, the safest approach is to treat each offer as case-by-case and confirm whether it is an insurance policy (regulated coverage) or a discount plan (network pricing).

Why consider health insurance through a bank?

Banks can be attractive for expats who want:

  • Convenience: manage payments, documents, and sometimes claims support in the same environment as your banking.
  • Customer benefits: some banks provide client perks (campaign discounts, easier payment methods, occasional bundled advantages).
  • Simplified onboarding: especially helpful if you’re new to healthcare Portugal and want a “one-stop” setup while you settle in and organize medical care Portugal.

  • a network discount plan (lower prices, but not insured coverage).
Compare based on what affects real-life care

To choose the right option for private healthcare Portugal, compare:

  • network density where you live (clinics/hospitals near your home)
  • outpatient vs. hospitalization coverage
  • reimbursement rules (if you want out-of-network freedom)
  • exclusions and pre-existing condition rules
  • waiting periods (maternity and some surgeries are common pain points)

This is what tends to determine how smooth your experience will be when you actually need medical care Portugalinside the wider healthcare Portugal system.

什么是欧洲健康保险卡?

欧洲健康保险卡(EHIC)是一张帮助符合条件的欧盟/欧洲经济区/瑞士游客在临时停留期间获得必要的国家医疗保健服务的健康保险卡。英国游客在类似情况下可以使用全球健康保险卡(GHIC)。这主要适用于短期停留和旅行相关的医疗保健,而不是全职居住计划。

在葡萄牙,只有持有NISS的人才能获得一张。不过,如果您有来自您祖国的卡,您可以仅在紧急情况下使用它。

除了确保您准备好获得签证移居葡萄牙,我们还提供NIF签发服务,这样您就可以做好准备,无论是在葡萄牙购买您的外籍健康保险,还是从国外购买。

最终想法

作为外籍人士在葡萄牙投保私人医疗保险是一个明智的选择,可以确保获得更快速和更专业的医疗服务。通过仔细评估您的需求,比较保险提供商,并了解保单条款,您可以为自己和家人找到合适的保障。无论您选择通过保险经纪人还是直接在线申请,都可以在几天内完成这个简单的流程。

在葡萄牙申请私人医疗保险可能会让人感到困惑,尤其是对不熟悉该系统的外籍人士而言。然而,通过了解医疗保险与医疗计划之间的区别,并全面研究提供商如Médis、Allianz、Ageas等,您可以做出符合您需求和预算的明智决定。

无论您选择通过健康保险政策获得全面保障,还是选择更经济的医疗计划,在葡萄牙投保私人医疗保险都能确保在您最需要的时候获得优质的医疗服务。

我超爱AnchorLess!他们在我的葡萄牙移民过程中帮了大忙,包括NIF注册、银行账户开户、律师服务和税务咨询。虽然整个流程结束后我会很开心,但至少有他们陪伴,这段旅程变得更加顺利。
