Cultural Tip
In Brazil, many private clinics and hospitals have agreements with specific insurers. It’s common to show your insurance card and, if asked, the name of the plan. Politeness matters – start with ‘por favor’ or a friendly greeting, and be prepared for the staff to ask for the insurer’s name or policy number.
