Find a recognised alternative medicine treatment

Basic health insurance reimburses the services of the following five disciplines, as long as they are provided by a doctor whose training in this discipline is recognised by the Federation of Swiss Physicians (FMH): acupuncture, homeopathy, anthroposophic medicine, herbal medicine and Chinese medicine.
If you wish to be covered for other alternative medicine treatments and want the freedom to seek treatment from a therapist, you will need supplemental insurance.
