Outpatient Supplementary Insurance Comparison 2026

More benefits for your health: From contributions to glasses to alternative medicine – we compare the best Swiss providers.

Why outpatient supplementary insurance?

Basic insurance only covers the absolute essentials. Many important services such as new glasses, emergency transports (ambulance), or fitness subscriptions are either not covered or only minimally. With outpatient supplementary insurance, you close these financial gaps. It is particularly popular due to high contributions to alternative healing methods like osteopathy or massage.

  • Vision aids: Annual or bi-annual contributions to glasses and contact lenses.
  • Fitness & Prevention: Participation in gym memberships, swimming courses, or nutritional advice.
  • Emergency transport: Coverage of high costs for ambulances and rescues (often up to CHF 10,000).
  • Alternative medicine: Contributions to acupuncture, osteopathy, and natural healing methods.
  • Medications: Coverage of non-reimbursable prescription drugs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Outpatient Services

Doesn't basic insurance pay for the ambulance?

Basic insurance only covers 50% of the costs for emergency transport (maximum CHF 500 per year). Since an operation often costs over CHF 1,000, supplementary insurance is essential for the rest.

Is there a health check for outpatient insurance?

Yes, you generally have to answer health questions. Therefore, it is recommended to take out this insurance while there are no chronic conditions.

Can I have outpatient insurance separately from basic insurance?

Yes, you can have basic insurance with insurer A and supplementary insurance with insurer B. We help you find the best combination.

How much does the insurance pay towards my gym membership?

Depending on the provider and model, you get back between CHF 200 and CHF 800 per year, provided the fitness center is quality-certified.
