Supplementary insurance for pregnancy

For pregnancy, supplementary hospital insurance or supplementary outpatient insurance are top of the list. These provide you with benefits that go beyond those offered by basic health insurance.

In Switzerland, basic health insurance only covers legally mandated pregnancy and childbirth services. This includes check-ups, antenatal classes, midwifery care and the delivery. Additional services or a greater level of comfort during hospital stays are often only possible with supplementary insurance.

Anyone planning a family or wishing to have children should look into supplementary insurance early on, as many health insurance companies apply waiting periods and require a health check.

Supplementary hospital insurance

Supplementary hospital insurance offers greater comfort and more options during a hospital stay. For example, you benefit from additional services during the delivery that are not covered by basic insurance. If you are planning a family and considering taking out supplementary hospital insurance, be sure to compare the different plans available. Supplementary hospital insurance provides important benefits during pregnancy and maternity.

We advise taking out supplementary hospital insurance early, as a waiting period of 270 days applies to maternity benefits.
