Reimbursement

The treatment is covered by your health insurance company and you must cover only 10% of the fees, up to a maximum of CHF 700 per year, less your deductible.

The invoice is sent depending on the agreement with your insurance company. Sometimes it is sent directly to the SVK, to your insurance company, or to your own address. Only an additional insurance will reimburse your travel expenses by taxi or your medical transport expenses. Please talk to your insurance company for more information.
If you have any questions, please contact our Billing Assistant, at 022 372 97 76 Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 4 pm.
