Optimizing basic insurance


SWICA offers alternative basic insurance models across all areas. Depending on your canton and region, you can benefit from great discounts on your premiums versus conventional basic insurance. You'll find information on the six SWICA FAVORIT models under basic insurance.

SWICA rewards a sense of personal responsibility with premium discounts: the higher the franchise, the more attractive the premium.

Deductible

According to the Federal Law on Accident Insurance (UVG) everyone who works at least 8 hours a week for the same employer is automatically insured by this employer against occupational and non-occupational accidents. You can exclude accident cover in the compulsory health insurance (according to the UVG) and save 7% on your basic insurance premium. For all other persons, the inclusion of accident cover in your health insurance is compulsory.

SWICA offers family discounts for children and young people.

  • Children: A premium discount of 76% is available for the first two children and 90% for all further children, based on the adult premium for basic insurance.
  • Young people aged between 19 and 25 receive a 25% premium discount.
SWICA offers a 0.5 percent discount if you pay your premiums annually. This discount applies to any basic or supplementary insurance plans that you have taken out with SWICA. You can adjust the frequency of your payments in the mySWICA customer portal, or call us on 0800 80 90 80.
Are you doing prolonged military service? Then you are entitled to a premium reduction.

Anyone who does more than two months (at least 60 consecutive days) of military service (recruit school, service) may request a reduction of their premium in the basic insurance. The confirmation can be submitted to SWICA before or after the military service. The premium for the basic insurance is completely suspended for this period or reimbursed after later submission.

The cantons grant premium reduction to people in modest financial circumstances. This support varies from canton to canton. SWICA recommends that low-income families and individuals contact the department responsible in the canton where they live to establish whether they are entitled to a premium reduction.
