«Rooming-in»
With hospita supplementary hospital insurance, children and parents can stay overnight in hospital together. If a child with hospita supplementary hospital insurance has to go into hospital, Sympany will pay CHF 100 per day for the parents to stay overnight in the same room or in external accommodation. If a parent with hospita supplementary hospital insurance requires inpatient treatment, Sympany will contribute CHF 100 per day towards the child’s overnight stay in the same room.

If several family members are insured under the same hospita flex policy, the cost contribution is the same as for individuals (up to CHF 4,500 if different flex coverage was agreed).
