SWICA offers family discounts for children and young people.
- Children: SWICA gives you a 76% discount on premiums for basic insurance (adult premium) for the 1st and 2nd child, and 90% for all subsequent children.
- Young adults aged 19 – 25: 25% discount on premiums for basic insurance (adult premium) at SWICA.
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.
