Basic insurance

Basic insurance is obligatory for all Swiss residents. It provides basic medical care in the event of illness, accidents and maternity. As the benefits are stipulated by law, they are the same from every health insurer.

We offer basic insurance as a standard version as well as various types of special insurance with cheaper premiums. In the standard option, the deductible is CHF 300 for adults and CHF 0 for children. If you choose a higher deductible, your insurance premium is reduced. But you can also use our alternative insurance models (AIM) to save on premiums. The benefits are the same for all basic insurance models. An AIM, however, allows you to benefit from the best possible quality of treatment because you can contact a central port of call for all medical matters.
