COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Everything you need for your health

In addition to our attractive range of supplementary health insurance products, we can assist you in freely choosing your provider of basic health insurance. Although we do not offer basic health insurance ourselves, each year we help you find the best solution in terms of price and quality. To ensure our advice is unbiased, we do not collect any commissions on basic insurance.

Regularly changing to the most cost-efficient basic insurance available is what maximizes the potential for savings. You do not lose any benefits by doing this, and it can save a family with two children up to CHF 2,000 per year. The benefits are governed by law and are exactly the same for all basic insurances, but premiums sometimes differ significantly.

Opt for supplementary health insurance from AXA and every year, we’ll find the most affordable basic insurer for you – plus we’ll also deal with your paperwork.

Comparing prices, obtaining offers, writing notice of termination – all of this takes time. If you opt for supplementary health insurance from AXA, each fall you receive from us a proposal for the most cost-efficient basic insurance available.

If you agree with our proposal, we take care of all of the paperwork involved in terminating your old insurance and registering you with your new basic insurer. This way, you save around CHF 500 in premiums each year, without having to lift a finger.

Supplementary health insurance closes a lot of the gaps in basic insurance, for example with financial contributions for glasses and contact lenses, gym memberships or complementary medicine. In addition, basic insurance does not offer a free choice of hospital or doctor. The more comfortable option of a double or single room is only possible with a semi-private or private supplementary insurance.

Flex hospitalization insurance is a further option. This allows you to decide on a case by case basis what level of comfort you prefer for your upcoming hospital stay.

Our products include both healthcare (outpatient) and hospital services (inpatient). In the outpatient segment, we contribute toward the cost of glasses and lenses, gym membership and complementary medicine.

With regard to hospital options you can choose between general, semi-private or private coverage. There's also the flexible option of deciding on the level of comfort each time you are admitted to hospital.

All supplementary health insurance options are subject to a period of notice of three months (to the end of a calendar year). You can choose between contracts of one year, two years or three years.
