Service providers – e.g. laboratories, hospitals and general practitioners – send invoices directly to the health insurance companies, which check the invoices and handle the administration.

Sympany
Peter Merian-Weg 4
4002 Basel
Or submit the invoice via mySympany.
The costs of treatment by doctors or in hospitals (general ward) – e.g. investigations, diagnosis, medical care – are paid for by the basic insurance, less the excess and deductible.
Doctor and patient should jointly decide the appropriate treatment in the case in question. The doctor is obliged to inform the patient about the entire factual and legal situation (treatment options, costs and compensation by the health insurance company).
Do you have symptoms and are unsure what to do? Take the coronavirus check online and you will receive a recommendation from the Federal Office of Public Health about what to do.
