Electronic data exchange for service providers
Invoicing by electronic data exchange can save time and money.
SWICA offers doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories and other service providers in the healthcare system the opportunity of direct electronic invoicing.
The Swiss standards of the «Data Exchange Forum» apply for data exchange. These are available online at www.forum-datenaustausch.ch. The current standard is XML 4.5. or higher.
The eKARUS project has been launched with hospitals for the purpose of exchanging data from invoices for in-house treatment using the SwissDRG standard. This project defines the application of standards and processes between health insurers and hospitals. SWICA supports the processes derived from the eKARUS project.
Electronic invoices to SWICA Healthcare Insurance Ltd (KVG) can be transmitted to EAN 760 100 300 2041. Invoices relating to accident insurance (UVG) can be sent electronically to SWICA Insurances under EAN 760 100 300 2119. All bills sent to SWICA are received by a certified data collection office and processed in keeping with data privacy laws.
Save yourself the trip to the post office and send us your invoices in electronic form. We will be happy to advise you.

The electronic transmission of invoices works perfectly, and subsequent processing by SWICA is handled competently and reliably. Dr. med. Daniel Good-Rudin, FMH Specialist for Gastroenterology, Basel
Reliable and efficient communication thanks to secure e-mail
It is impossible to imagine communicating efficiently in the health service nowadays without the use of e-mail. To ensure that sensitive data can be transmitted electronically without any risk, comprehensive data protection requirements have to be met.
SWICA therefore decided to implement a mail gateway through Health Info Net (HIN), which guarantees electronic communication in conformity with data protection requirements. We can thus exchange confidential information securely with all partners who subscribe to HIN.
Secure e-mails are transmitted in many areas:
- Medical reports and referrals to external specialists and hospitals
- Monthly managed care reports
- Cost approvals
Reliable and efficient communication using secure e-mail makes for easier and faster day-to-day collaboration with our partners.
