Frequently asked questions

There is a proliferation of doctors’ practices and specialist clinics in towns and cities. And if there are a large number of medical services available in a particular region, greater use will be made of them. That’s why healthcare spending is higher in urban areas – and premiums are too. Incidentally, it’s the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) that’s responsible for defining the premium regions.

You can save on premiums by choosing basic insurance without a free choice of doctor.

In the case of basic insurance, your cover commences from the date on which the insurance begins – usually 1 January.

In the case of supplementary insurance, there is often a qualifying period. You can only start drawing benefits once a certain waiting period has elapsed, e.g. for dental damage under Dental Insurance or for pregnancy under Hospitalisation Insurance.
