Supplementary outpatient insurance premium
For first-rate outpatient benefits
With premium, you receive the same benefits as with plus – but also substantially higher contributions towards, for example, preventative measures, alternative medicine, glasses and braces. premium natura gives you access to even more alternative medicine: you receive comprehensive contributions towards alternative medicine and can opt for additional treatment methods.

The supplementary outpatient insurance premium overview
The outpatient supplementary insurance premium does more than just close the gaps in cover in your basic insurance. Unlike plus, it also pays comprehensive contributions towards preventative measures, alternative medicine and aids such as glasses and contact lenses. Including abroad.
In addition, premium covers the costs of treatment at private outpatient consultations by doctors who are not subject to the Federal Health Insurance Act (“KVG”) (according to the recognised KVG tariff).
premium natura is worth it especially if you regularly use alternative medical treatments and aids. You also benefit from additional alternative medical treatment methods (“advanced treatment methods”) and higher contributions than with plus, plus natura or premium.
Yes, you can. Once your CHF 300 deductible has been reached, the supplementary outpatient insurance premium covers the costs of medical treatment abroad up to a maximum of twice the amount as in Switzerland, subject to a 10% deductible.
Our tip: If you plan on travelling abroad, especially outside the EU/EFTA, it is advisable to take out tourist or tourist subito travel health insurance. It doesn’t just cover the costs of outpatient treatment, but also those associated with hospital stays, transport, search, rescue and recovery abroad. It also covers additional return trips, including for relatives, and additional useful benefits in the event of an emergency abroad. Learn more about travel health insurance >
