Health insurance covers the costs of basic and treatment care

90%

Insurance cover in Switzerland is excellent. For example, 90% of the costs of medically prescribed care services are covered, regardless of which insurance you have. We are recognized by all health insurance companies and your co-payment is low, although it varies from canton to canton.

    The most important thing for me is that the caregivers are not replaced.

  • What is transitional care?

    Transitional care is used when a person continues to need support and care after hospitalization. This option is certainly used for older patients, but also for younger people who are unable to care for themselves at home due to an accident. Transitional care is often clarified and organized from the hospital. As a result, the costs of basic care and wound care are also covered by health insurance. Read more about the 7 advantages of Spitex transitional care here.

  • What is meant by the need for care?

    Generally speaking, the need for long-term care is defined as a situation in which a person can no longer cope with everyday life on their own due to an accident, illness, disability or simply old age. As soon as medical care and support for day-to-day activities become necessary over a longer period of time, this is considered a need for care. In addition to the medical care already mentioned, the necessary support also includes help with personal hygiene, eating or general household tasks. Relatives often step in for the simpler assistance activities that do not require special training. An alternative is the involvement of Spitex organizations.

  • How does the needs assessment work?

    A needs assessment is an essential prerequisite for the approval of the costs of Spitex care and support services by the health insurance companies. For this reason, we will arrange an appointment with you as soon as possible whenever you contact us.
