KPTwin.smart is KPT’s innovative basic health insurance model. It is digital, flexible and cost-effective. Thanks to the integrated symptom checker, you receive an initial assessment and specific recommendations based on medical criteria – because a visit to the doctor is not always necessary! In the case of minor illnesses such as a cold or headache, the app offers a wealth of tips on self-treatment. This saves you time and doctor’s costs and lessens the strain on Switzerland’s healthcare system. However, you don’t have to miss out on seeing your GP: after running the symptom checker, it is up to you to decide whether you follow the recommendations or prefer to discuss the result in person with your GP.
The benefits to you with KPTwin.smart
- Save on premiums and doctor’s costs: efficient triage and targeted treatment management reduce unnecessary expenses.
- Look up your symptoms 24/7: receive an initial medical assessment at any time with no waiting.
- Flexible choice on whether to consult your GP: if, after using the symptom checker, you feel you need more help, you can go straight to your GP.

What makes KPTwin.smart different from other digital insurance models?
With many digital basic health insurance plans, patients are directed to consult a doctor or telemedicine provider straight away, even for minor illnesses. In contrast, in the case of minor ailments such as a cold or headache, KPTwin.smart offers sound self-treatment advice, e.g. bed rest or medication the patient will already have at home. This saves time and money and allows you more autonomy over your healthcare choices.
