Frequently asked questions

Who needs supplementary outpatient insurance?

Basic health insurance in Switzerland does not cover everything.

For example:

Glasses and contact lenses are usually paid by you.
Treatments such as acupuncture, homeopathy, phytotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and anthroposophic medicine are only covered by basic health insurance if offered by a qualified doctor. Other alternative treatments are not covered.
Basic health insurance does not cover stress tests, medical massages or check-ups.

When is outpatient insurance recommended?

If you are looking for more cover than you receive with basic health insurance.
If you would like to focus more on your mental health, preventive health care and sport.
If you would like to protect your budget from unexpected costs.
