As a requirement to apply for our residence visa, the Portuguese Consulate in Washington has informed us, a senior couple, 80 & 75 yrs. old, respectively, that we must have €30,000 medical insurance coverage each for 1 yr. However, we have been unable to find such insurance due to our ages.

Any suggestions for a solution?

Try Cigna. They have a travel insurance or short term insurance that matches the amount. You biggest hurdle in Portugal will be your ages. They usually have cut offs at 70-years of age. Contact https://Medis.pt and ask. They won't insurance you without a NIF but the research can help you once you come to Portugal.
