«I’m a happy customer because SWICA makes generous contributions towards my gym and tennis club memberships. Also, when I submit doctors’ bills they are processed rapidly, and the money I’m owed is transferred to me quickly.»

«As a family, we’ve been insured with SWICA for years now and we're 100% satisfied! SWICA covers a large part of the cost of swimming lessons for our children. Our middle child goes to dances classes, and I was amazed to find that SWICA is the only health insurer which helps out with the cost. Fantastic!!!

But that's not all... SWICA was also there for us during an extremely difficult period. Our son became very ill when he was just 16 months old. My husband and I were given a parents’ room at the children’s hospital, even though I was no longer breastfeeding. The situation was looked into and a decision was taken to cover these costs. Really thoughtful and family-friendly. Ever since then we wouldn’t consider any other health insurer! You are the best! Our son has made a full recovery 😉.»

«SWICA supports me in my efforts to live a healthy lifestyle. When I was trying out Bodypump with a friend, she told me that SWICA made generous contributions to her fitness club membership. So I also switched to SWICA, and am very happy I did. SWICA also provides support in the form of the BENEVITA bonus programme.»

«I’ve been a loyal and proud SWICA customer for several years now. Thanks to SWICA’s ideal supplementary insurance plan I had the opportunity following a snowboard accident to recover thanks to fitness centres, physiotherapy and massage centres. This has enabled me to get back to my passion – dancing.»

«Until a few years ago I didn’t do any exercise and was putting on weight. But that’s all in the past now. SWICA’s supplementary benefits encouraged me to become more active. Without SWICA I would be living an unhealthy life and be unhappy with my body. Thank you!»

«The tips I received from the BENEVITA team made me aware of exactly what I had to change in my eating and exercise routines. It's true that I was taking a lot of exercise and eating appropriate foods, but the exercise I was doing turned out to be inefficient and I wasn’t eating enough protein. Now I’ve lost four kilos – my body is more toned and I’m pleased with how I look.»
