Attractive basic insurance models

Mandatory health insurance covers basic needs in cases of illness, accident or maternity. SWICA's five alternative FAVORIT insurance plans deliver outstanding value for money and can save you hundreds of francs a year. The only difference between the FAVORIT plans and STANDARD basic insurance is your initial point of contact. The benefits package remains the same.

Our basic insurance plans

  • FAVORIT CASA: your family doctor as the first point of contact
  • FAVORIT MEDICA: free choice from the list of doctors
  • FAVORIT MEDPHARM: SWICA partner pharmacies or santé24 for an initial assessment
  • FAVORIT SANTE: SWICA partner pharmacies as the first point of contact
  • FAVORIT TELMED: santé24 telemedicine service for an initial assessment
  • STANDARD: free choice of doctor

Choose your personal SWICA FAVORIT basic insurance model and benefit from attractive premium discounts.

The premiums for basic insurance vary depending on your insurance model, region, age, and excess amount. You can see your personal premium and the financial advantages that the FAVORIT models offer in the Premium calculator.

Jean-Claude Manghardt
«Attentive staff who respond to questions quickly and precisely, helpful advice (particularly in the magazine), a useful application featuring, for example, a simple procedure for submitting invoices and settling them promptly – these are just some of the reasons why I have been putting my trust in SWICA for more than 50 years without fail.»

«In the autumn of 2013 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It came as a massive shock to me. SWICA reassured me straight away and explained that it is a health insurance company that really covers the disease. Today I’m doing very well and I’m very grateful to SWICA.»

«I’ve been insured with SWICA for decades and I’m delighted. Praeventa is brilliant because I buy orthopaedic shoes for my damaged feet and have been able to do preventive physiotherapy. SWICA is so good that I’ve been rejecting the overtures of other insurers for years.»

«I've been more than satisfied for many years. Last year the BENEVITA health platform helped me a lot. I took myself in hand and lost 20 kilos, and I’ve been able to keep the weight off ever since. Now all I have to do is stay as healthy as I am now and live till I’m at least a hundred.»

«We were on holiday in Dubai. I began to feel ill during the very first night. I had heart problems, so we had to go to the hospital. sante24 was a great help to us during this time, because we didn’t understand everything in English. Thanks to sante24 I felt safe and cared for abroad.»

«After various frustrating experiences with other health insurers the personal professional advice provided by the SWICA representative persuaded me, even though SWICA is somewhat more expensive than other insurers. I’m a really happy customer: great service, professional advice, clear invoicing... SWICA is going to have to do something special to get rid of me»

«Even though I'm retired now, I still look after people in need and come into conversation with them. You would hardly believe the stories I hear about health insurers. About incorrect information, or promises which then can't be kept. It is people seeking advice who often end up short-changed – people who don't have the confidence, or sometimes the ability, to stand up for themselves.
With SWICA I've always received really competent advice – whether it was just a brief phone message, or if a doctor was also consulted – no fuss, no quibbles. But what really touches me is that, whether I'm phoning or asking in person at an agency counter, with SWICA you are taken seriously as a INDIVIDUAL.

I wish that all INDIVIDUALS could enjoy the valuable services that SWICA provides.»

«A health insurer shows its real qualities when you become ill. When I had surgery on my back seven years ago SWICA was always there for me. I benefited from preferential treatment in the hospital and straightforward processes. I can warmly recommend SWICA to anyone.»

«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.»

«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.»
