Why do we also look after customers who haven’t even been born yet?

Maternity involves numerous examinations both before and after the birth. To ensure that mother and child receive comprehensive care and are financially secure, there are no co-payments for maternity benefits.

• Antenatal courses (CHF 150 towards group courses delivered by a midwife)
• 7 antenatal checkups
• 2 ultrasound examinations
• 1 postnatal checkup
• 3 sessions in which midwives or other specially trained staff provide breastfeeding advice

The supplementary insurance plans offer the following additional services in the context of antenatal preparation, support and aftercare:

• CHF 200 breastfeeding allowance per child
• In-depth breastfeeding advice if desired or required (e.g. in the event of breastfeeding problems)
