People with health problems may find it difficult or impossible to go shopping or do household chores. Find out who is entitled to home help and how it is billed.
What is home help?

CSS also supports you at home. The Balance or Premium category of supplementary myFlex Outpatient Insurance pays a share of the costs of nursing care and help at home if prescribed by a doctor.
Household Expenses Insurance pays up to CHF 100 per day for additional household expenditure on items such as child care, home help, home-delivered meals and much more.
Other forms of insurance, such as Medical Costs Insurance for Accidents or Spa and Nursing Care Insurance, also pay a share of the costs. myCSS lets you see exactly what benefits you are personally entitled to.
