Outpatient treatment and reimbursement
The costs of outpatient examinations and treatments are covered by the compulsory health insurance for all persons insured in Switzerland.
The deductible specified in the insurance contract and the compulsory excess (10%) are not covered. In the case of restricted insurance models (e.g. "family doctor model"), a referral by the family doctor is necessary.
For international patients (resident abroad), the assumption of costs for outpatient and inpatient treatment must be clarified in advance with the respective health insurance company.
At Orth4Life, the focus is on the patient.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Cornelia Cardillo.
From the first contact, during the therapy and until the final recovery, we are there for you.

Inpatient treatments and stays
The assumption of costs for inpatient treatment and hospital stays depends on the insurance model. If patients have supplementary insurance (semi-private or private), the inpatient costs will be covered by the health insurance (less deductible rate) after approval of the costs.
