Frequently asked questions

Supplementary hospital insurance allows you to enhance your basic hospital insurance cover for inpatient treatment with benefits of your choice.

Basic insurance only reimburses you for the tariff set in your canton of residence for your stay and medical treatment in a general ward (multi-bed room), provided the hospital is on the hospital list in your canton of residence or for medical reasons you require treatment in an out-of-canton hospital. You must pay for all extra benefits yourself – such as household help following an acute hospital stay or childcare while you are recovering in the hospital. That is why these supplementary benefits give financial peace of mind.

HOSPITAL FLEX is ideal for those who want to be able to choose the type of ward each time they go to hospital. The selected type of ward then determines the room comfort and additional services:

  • For minor operations a hospital stay in the general ward is usually sufficient. Then you do not have to pay any additional costs.
  • For longer hospital stays you may prefer to have a quieter space with more privacy. In this case, for an additional charge (co-payment) you can choose a semi-private (double room) or private ward (individual room).
  • You may want to have certain operations performed by a specific doctor – for example when highly complex surgery is needed. However, the free choice of doctor is only available in a semi-private or private ward.

HOSPITAL FLEX is so favourably priced because you only pay for what you actually need.

If you only want to cover expensive hospital costs, just take out the main module in the variant FLEX 1 or FLEX 2. If you also want contributions paid towards convalescent treatments, household help and other supplementary benefits, however, you can also take out the FLEX supplementary module.

With HOSPITAL FLEX supplementary hospital insurance, you do not pay for hospital costs if you stay in a general ward. 

If, on the other hand, you decide on a semi-private or private ward, you have to contribute towards your hospital costs:

Semi-private ward
  • FLEX 1 variant: 35% cost contribution up to CHF 3,000 per calendar year
  • FLEX 2 variant: 20% cost contribution up to CHF 2,000 per calendar year
Private ward
  • FLEX 1 variant: 50% cost contribution up to CHF 9,000 per calendar year
  • FLEX 2 variant: 35% cost contribution up to CHF 4,000 per calendar year

No. The free choice of doctor only applies to hospital stays in a semi-private or private ward. This means that if you select the general ward you cannot choose the doctor who operates on you.
