Can I be admitted to a clinic?

If you only have basic insurance, you can be admitted to the clinic providing you stay in a general ward and that the hospital is listed by your canton of residence (Art. 41, para. 1bis LAMal/KVG).
If not, you must have supplemental insurance to cover the costs of a semi-private or private room.

What coverage do I enjoy in my canton of residence if I only have compulsory health insurance?

Your basic insurance covers standard hospital care in the general ward of a hospital listed by your canton of residence (Art. 41, para. 1bis LAMal/KVG).
