AXA’s supplementary health insurance options
Unlike with basic insurance, the benefits offered under supplementary insurance vary. Is money toward your gym membership important to you? Or payments toward complementary-medicine therapies? Perhaps you regard privacy during a hospital stay as a must?
Only supplementary insurance can cover these needs. And by taking out supplementary insurance with AXA you’ll be opting for top-flight, award-winning products.
FAQ – Supplementary health insurance
How do I benefit with AXA?
In addition to our attractive range of supplementary insurance products, we can assist you in your free choice of a basic health insurance provider. We don’t offer any basic insurance ourselves, but help you find the best solution in terms of price and quality each year. To ensure our advice is unbiased, we don't receive any commission on basic insurance.
How does the switching service for basic health insurance work?
Comparing prices, obtaining offers, and terminating policies all 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 to our proposal, we’ll take care of all of the paperwork involved in terminating your old insurance and registering you with your new basic insurer. This means that you can save around CHF 500 in premiums each year without having to lift a finger, while families can even save up to CHF 2,000.
