In Portugal, there is no centralized medical record system. Rather, an individual’s medical information is distributed across the public healthcare system and various private hospital networks. Laboratory test results and imaging reports are typically housed by different laboratories and imaging centers. Serenity offers you the convenience of consolidating your personal medical information in a single, easily accessible location. This enables straightforward organization of pertinent data and provides you with the flexibility to upload and share information according to your personal preferences and requirements.

There’s much to discuss when it comes to private health insurance in Portugal. It’s notably affordable (or even exceptionally so for some), yet it can be quite perplexing. In fact, it differs significantly from healthcare systems in countries like the United States, South Africa, or even other European nations. Rest assured, we specialize in simplifying, clarifying, and presenting these health insurance options comprehensively. Our aim is to save you extensive research hours, days of contemplation, and often substantial amounts of money. Through this advocacy process, we offer a well-informed recommendation tailored to your specific needs, expectations, and budget.

A comprehensive orientation document and tutorial will provide an in-depth exploration of the organizational framework and operational aspects of both the public and private healthcare systems in Portugal.

This pragmatic report will enable you to ascertain the availability of your current medications in Portugal, determine the typical costs associated with these medications, and assess whether your prescriptions are eligible for coverage under the state health plan.

Our Nurse Case Manager will allocate an online session to thoroughly assess your current medical condition and anticipate your future clinical requirements. As a result, an annual healthcare plan will be formulated and shared with you, empowering you to proactively engage in managing your health. Additionally, our team will be on hand to facilitate timely scheduling and necessary arrangements as needed.

In line with your annual healthcare plan and to address any unforeseen requirements, Serenity’s designated administrators will streamline the scheduling process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

We will also consider your payment preferences, whether through insurance or out-of-pocket payments.

Registering with the SNS, which stands for the National Health Services, is the official procedure that establishes your eligibility for public healthcare in Portugal. This essential step is carried out at a community health center located near your place of residence. Since various health centers may have specific requirements to complete this process, we will reach out to the appropriate center, ascertain their checklist of tasks, relay it to you, and ensure that all prerequisites are met. Proper preparation is intended to help you save valuable time and avoid unnecessary hassles.

In situations requiring an imaging study, we will ensure the service is scheduled within a 96-hour timeframe. However, the more critical and distressing period is the wait for the results. It’s during this time that your mind may be preoccupied with concerns about the outcome of the imaging examination. We are committed to reducing this wait time to a maximum of 48 hours and providing the examination results in English.
