# Health Insurance in Portugal

## The short answer

1 entry, all of them used by the editor personally. Every entry in this directory is something the editor has personally used or belongs to. Nobody can pay to appear, there are no sponsored placements, and "well known" is not a qualification. Where a category has nothing in it, it stays empty and says so rather than being filled from a search results page. That is why the list is short.

Private health cover and expat insurers — essential for visa applications and SNS gaps.
