Private Health Care

Hello everyone! Does anyone out there use private health care , rather than the Portugues one? Can anyone advise/recommend good Private Insurance for over 60s, preferably in the Central Portugal? SNS has not been good. To see a GP  you have to wait about 3 weeks and after we got the appointment we went and only to be told the GP was sick and no one told us as we drove 20km to this appointment. Its very frustrating!

What do you get for your monthly/annual premiums and what happens about "co-payments" and "existing illness/conditions"? Is it worth including dental care and/or optical options?

Is it worth going through an English-speaking broker, or just sign up to a preferred insurer direct?

Thank You!
