How does the health insurance system in Switzerland work?
Basic insurance is mandatory in Switzerland. It is legally regulated under the Health Insurance Act (LAMal/KVG). All basic insurance models cover the same (statutory) benefits. What differentiates them is how they work and the cost of the premiums.
Examples of benefits covered by basic insurance:
- outpatient treatments performed by doctors and chiropractors;
- medically prescribed and approved medications and laboratory tests;
- hospital treatment in the general ward.
