Our wide range of special insurance plans

I never claimed benefits from my health insurer in the 37 years that I had my policy. But when I became seriously ill, I found SWICA to be fully reliable. Its staff was always professional and friendly, and I could always count on the benefits they promised.

I landed, together with my wife and daughter, in Tokyo. My plan was to spend five months in Japan preparing for the World Barista Championship. Just a week after we arrived we were delighted to discover that my wife was pregnant. Thanks to fantastic support from SWICA, all of the doctor's appointments in Japan – so far away from home – went smoothly. And all the associated costs were also covered. This meant that my wife was able to enjoy her pregnancy and I was free to concentrate fully on preparing for the championships. Incidentally, thanks to my intensive preparations I came 10th in the world championships. Since then I have travelled all over the world for coffee.

Tip top! I am very happy with SWICA. The advisors are knowledgeable and friendly, and my queries are always dealt with quickly and reliably. I feel well looked after and I appreciate the professional service. Would absolutely recommend.

Our working life is becoming increasingly flexible and diverse. But SWICA has shown to be open to new ideas and adapts to our needs. Be it for presentations, consultations or the annual flu vaccination campaign, SWICA has always been a professional and trustworthy partner.

I've had insurance from SWICA for many years and have always been very satisfied! Their customer service is very good, and their advisers are very friendly (you won't get brushed off)! They are there to answer questions any time, and claims are always handled quickly!
First-rate health insurer

I find the service, which is provided without a hitch, really great.
They answer my questions and call me back on the same day.
Thank you very much, SWICA. I am a loyal customer.

I can't thank SWICA enough for what they did. If you suffer from a chronic illness, you can count yourself lucky to have an efficient and understanding health insurer. Thank you very much.

My wife and I have been insured with SWICA for many years and are very happy with its service and the efficient way it handles our invoices. We also think that its premiums easily match those of other health insurers.

Digital insurance! I very much appreciate the services provided by the website and the mobile app: easy document transfer, a complete picture of your coverage, a wide range of information, etc.
It’s a real time-saver!

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.

SWICA is the best health insurance provider in Switzerland. I'm covered only within my canton, and after some very difficult operations I wanted to go for rehabilitation outside my canton. Swica approved this for me without hesitation. Thanks to Swica I can now reasonably walk again as the rehabilitation is extraordinarily good. Thank you, Swica.

I’ve been insured with SWICA for as long as I can remember. Fortunately I’ve always enjoyed good health, and I intend to ensure that it stays that way. Thanks to the Praevita contribution towards my gym membership and my annual membership at the pool, I am more motivated to do something to stay in good physical health.

The whole family has been impressed with the professional and expert advice we get from SWICA. SWICA are there to advise and support us. This is a health insurer you can rely on. You can really feel that they care about the health of their customers.

I was ill last year. SWICA helped me by offering an excellent range of services (phone-based advice, work reintegration options etc.) and providing them in a straightforward way (cover note for necessary measures, co-payments for alternative methods, etc.).

I've been a satisfied SWICA customer for many years now. I've been using TytoHome as a test customer since 2020. It's very useful and has also been very beneficial during the holidays. I'm convinced of the value of this product. I also appreciate SWICA's contribution towards my cross-country ski pass.

SWICA pays 800 francs towards my gym membership. And it offers the Benevita bonus programme which helps people who enjoy exercise and have a health-conscious lifestyle to keep their premiums down. I would recommend SWICA to anyone who is interested in exercise and health.

We are satisfied with SWICA’s services in every respect and have found their Client Services always to be friendly and helpful. The coach who's there when someone has an operation, for example, ensures that things stay calm, and we can get help quickly and easily if needed.

I came to Switzerland from Germany in 2017 to join my boyfriend. I signed up with SWICA thanks to positive recommendations. I had the feeling right from the start that SWICA was the right insurer for me. I was offered exactly what I wanted and at a fair price!

Very knowledgeable and friendly advice given over the phone by Mr Salomon, the advisor.

Very friendly customer service.
They reimburse claims very promptly with a minimum of fuss.
I’ve been a customer of Swica for 39 years already and will remain so for many years to come.
Many thanks Swica!

Thanks to Telmed, we knew what to do.
The hospital wanted to pass us on to an expensive 0900 number.
But Swica knew better! Bravo! And thank you.

SWICA is the best health insurer in Switzerland by far. I tried CSS, Arcosana, Concordia and others, but then I switched back to SWICA. Thanks to SWICA, instead of having more than 12 days of migraines a month, with the injection I now only have one day and my quality of life is so much better! SWICA is very straightforward, fast and has fantastic customer service!

We are always satisfied with the services, processes and professional advice we receive from SWICA.

santé24 always gives very good, knowledgeable and friendly advice over the phone. Thank you!

I joined Benevita in 2016 and it has changed my life completely. I put much effort into a healthy life, including exercise, food, sleeping and so on. Since then, I feel I am much healthier and happier both physically and mentally. Recently, I got my 300 healthies surprise, which make me more motivated to keep strong. Thank you SWICA for helping us in our healthy life.

SWICA's Prevention Management team is a reliable partner. In the field of ergonomics, for example, we used a train-the-trainer approach to train employees who now answer questions internally regarding workplace modifications. The OHM team also offers timely solutions, including a webinar series about the immune system.

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!

I'm so grateful to be insured with such a good health insurer. You fully deserve your top ranking among the health insurance companies. Many thanks also for the support, which is always friendly, whether it's in Amriswil, Winterthur or santé24.💚

I have been a very satisfied SWICA customer since my childhood. At present I’m studying at the Belvoirpark hotel management school. Through my job as a catering professional I know that quality and good customer service are absolutely essential for every company. SWICA has been delivering this service for 25 years.

I'm really happy with SWICA. Attentive, friendly, helpful and they always ask how you are when you've been in hospital. Extremely professional. And the same goes for santé24. For me it has to be SWICA, because they treat customers with decency and respect.

The Benevita Health Programme is really great because it motivates me to get more exercise in my daily life. And you can use the various challenges to compete with your friends.

Absolutely outstanding health insurance! The best insurer you could wish for, especially here at the Kloten agency, and most especially Janine Peter!

I had a heart attack when I was in the Philippines and had to be admitted to hospital as an emergency. Despite difficult communications channels and the different time zones, SWICA and Medicall gave me comprehensive professional support. A Swiss doctor gave me advice by phone and SWICA issued the cover note. SWICA was also there for me on the flight back home.

I can wholeheartedly recommend SWICA when it comes to every aspect of health. SWICA genuinely always aims to support its customers with advice and assistance, with a wealth of knowledge, experience and understanding.
That's why, after many years as a SWICA customer, I would like to highly commend them.

I really value the great assistance and support. After a skiing accident in Austria I didn't know what kind of accident insurance cover I had. A call to SWICA later on in the evening provided the information I needed and meant that I was extremely well looked after.

I haven’t needed doctors very often in my life...
but SWICA was there when it hurt!

Many thanks for the friendly and extremely helpful advice from santé24! I will use this service more often in future, and recommend it to others. Thank you!

I’ve been with SWICA for many years. I’m very satisfied. SWICA has always supported me, also with my illness.

When my cold got worse I carried out and transmitted various exams with TytoHome. Shortly afterwards I got to have an initial phone call with a professional, and only an hour or so later had a phone consultation with a doctor – all without having to consult a medical practice. Great!

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

I've been with SWICA now for two years. My experience with this health insurer can hardly be put into words. Very friendly and professional advice from my consultant plus straightforward invoice processing. Wonderful health insurer! I'll be happy to recommend it to other people.

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.

The people at SWICA are always very friendly and helpful when I contact them and provide me quickly with the information I need. I know that there are other insurers with lower rates, but I've always appreciated SWICA's service. The fact that I've been with them for years clearly says a lot.

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'd like to express my sincere thanks. I'm very happy with Swica's services, their caring, friendly and expert handling of my case, and the way they support their customers. I'd particularly like to thank Mr Salomon, who worked on my case in a capable, friendly and warm manner. He kept me well informed and always followed up with me promptly to provide updates without my having to ask (something I had never experienced before). I can recommend Swica Aadorf with absolutely no reservations.

I was very well received in Neuchâtel. All the staff are very attentive and smil-ing, which is really lovely! My appointment with Mr. Joao Ribeiro was very useful. His explanations were very clear and he gave me excellent advice. I’m very satisfied with my visit and I’m even more delighted to be a member of SWICA. Thank you for everything and I look forward to seeing you soon!

TytoHome is very easy and straightforward to use. Nothing can go wrong if you read the instructions. TytoHome gives me more flexibility and lets me do things when I want to. I strongly recommend using TytoHome.

Whether it’s processing doctors’ bills or getting help in choosing a doctor, we always have a helpful and professional point of contact. Actually, we hope that we will never need SWICA, but in the final analysis it’s good to know that we can rely on it.

SWICA is a reliable partner to our company. SWICA is right for us as a company thanks to its professionalism and highly developed personnel management system. They are great people to work with and extremely professional when it comes to training. It’s a wonderful feeling to work with such a great partner.

I am very happy with SWICA. The customer service team is always professional and knowledgeable when providing information. I have had health and accident insurance with Swica for 40 years and have had no complaints in all this time.

J’ai connu SWICA par le biais de mes parents, car je faisais tout pour eux en raison de leur âge. SWICA était déjà super il y a 20 ans, c’est pourquoi j’y suis assurée et en suis toujours très satisfaite.

I’m very happy to be insured with SWICA. You only notice how good your health insurer really is when you run into a health problem. SWICA is always there for you, its advisers are very friendly, and questions about your cover are always handled quickly.
Thanks a lot for all you've done.

SWICA gave me all-round support when I had an accident abroad. It was a great relief

Taking part in the TytoHome pilot saved us several visits to the doctor, and the feedback fed back directly into improving the service. We’re now keen users of telemedicine.

The CHF 500 prevention contribution towards my gym membership is sensational and unbeatable.

It’s possible not everyone knows that SWICA’s Care Management even exists. I have to say it provides really great support. I had major surgery last autumn and got the best possible help from my care manager, including advice and information on the benefits you’re entitled to (sometimes we’re not that well informed and miss out on benefits that we could be taking advantage of). Although this wasn’t required in my case, they can also help by coordinating things between doctors/hospitals etc.

Dear Swica Team, Dear Ms Wunderli
Particularly over the last three years you've been looking after me as my case manager. I'm very grateful for your humorous, kind and highly competent support, especially during the period when I was ill and lost my job as a result. During that time your hard work and dedication were very valuable to me, and gave me a lot of support and security.
The people at reception are also attentive and always treat me very respectfully.
On the basis of my own very good experience I can highly recommend Swica and its Winterthur team.

Yours sincerely

I have been with Swica now for at least 15 years and I have never had any problems with them, on the contrary, they are always courteous, expeditious and provide excellent support. Moreover, they take "preventive care" seriously. Also, their Telmed / santé24 are a reliable and convenient way to get fast expert medical assessments - this is the way of the future. I can highly recommend this insurance company!

As a mum and midwife I find that SWICA offers great maternity-related benefits and services. Already during pregnancy SWICA provided support with acupuncture, which helped me a lot. And after the birth they were always there for us, which meant I could enjoy the time with my baby.

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.

My family and I trust in SWICA. I was a professional ice hockey player for 14 years and accidents were the order of the day. Our medical team always looked after us extremely well. After my sports career ended, I decided that I wanted the same care and security for my family and myself. With SWICA I’ve found the ideal partner for my family.

I had an extremely pleasant telephone call with Ms Lakki (Regional Head Office St. Gallen) this evening. She answered my questions expertly, objectively and calmly, and explained the advantages and disadvantages of various insurance models. I am now fully informed! What I found really positive was that it wasn’t a sales pitch. I look forward to further enlightening conversations with and great services from your health insurance company should the need arise.

I called SWICA about some contract changes, and it made them just as I had hoped. And invoicing, too, works without a hitch. What's more, I get refunds from my Completa Top plan quickly, without me having to chase after them. My personal situation will change at the end of the year, which means I'll have to rethink what's in my contract. Thanks a lot for taking good care of me!

A fantastic advisor (Mr Cudré-Mauroux) helped me with everything. Thanks to the changeover I have been able to save on lot of things with Swica products (for example Fitnesse and complementary medicines). Being able to contact a doctor online with the device from wherever you are is really great for minor emergencies. (You can even use it on holiday by the sea). I highly recommend this very modern insurance that is top value for money. Thank you very much.

I do a lot of sport in my spare time, so it’s important to me to have an insurance partner which supports me financially on that front. The range of services provided by SWICA is transparent and easy to understand, which suits me very well. I also like SWICA’s friendly professional staff and the easy-to-use invoice app.

I was looking for the perfect product: good insurance cover at a reasonable price. When I met an advisor, he explained everything to me. He was highly motivated, friendly, professional, patient – really great! This made a big positive impact on me. Good advice is a company's calling card. Well done, SWICA!

Everyone I speak to is always friendly and helpful. Innovative ideas (partnering with TKB), quick responses to all queries, understanding and even checking a medical bill that seemed high to me – that’s SWICA!

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.

If I could choose an "Employee of the Year 2021", I would nominate Serkan Koca. He thinks for himself, scrutinises the policies closely and has given me really good advice. He is knowledgeable and very friendly. Excellent customer service. Great!

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.

santé24 is a really valuable healthcare organisation. It's so great to be able to count on your expert services if I fall ill, or if I need advice after being ill. Your health advice deserves particular praise. As a SWICA customer, I always feel well looked after with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to deal with my concerns. One satisfied customer!

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.

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.

SWICA’s staff are always friendly and available. Really great, friendly customer help line and service :)

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.

...my first contact with SWICA was fantastic. Because I (56) wasn’t able to find out online whether my current GP was on SWICA’s doctors’ list, I called SWICA. The friendly lady I spoke to immediately offered to guide me through the internet pages until we found what I had been looking for... A really "human" service like this is wonderful! And that’s why I am switching to SWICA now after 35 years with EGK...

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.

I’ve been with Swica for 13 years and am very satisfied. Whenever I get cold calls about health insurance I tell them No thanks, I’m already with the best!!

Out of habit, I had always contacted my German health insurer until now, even though I have cross-border commuter insurance with SWICA. However, for the birth of my twins, I decided to choose a Swiss hospital. I am delighted with the services and support I receive here as a pregnant woman. The staff are very friendly and helpful: I was able to visit the neonatal intensive care unit and discuss the entire process after the birth in detail. This thorough preparation gives me confidence and reduces the stress that comes with giving birth. This allows me to fully focus on this joyful event. By the way, during my hospital stay, services such as a pedicure are even provided – another great advantage for me.

I've been with SWICA for 50 years. I really recommend this insurance company because of how understanding it is, the fast payments and everything it does to help remedy the different illnesses we might come across in life.

Care Management has really changed my life. Ms Wunderli has made so much possible for me with the disability insurance and is helping me with all the issues in my life. She has always actively supported and encouraged me. Thanks to this, I now have a second chance and can finally get back on my feet and plan ahead. Last year, I never thought I could achieve all these things in 2019, even with the help and encouragement of Ms Wunderli. I’m deeply thankful for all the help and recommend this service to everyone. I think SWICA's Care Management is excellent.


This partnership helps our organisation move forward. As an SME, we work very closely with SWICA. We have illness rates that are higher than we would like and are trying to develop our occupational health management so that we can get the situation under control. My direct SWICA contact is available to provide advice practically around the clock.

I’m never really ill, but during my summer holidays the SWICA helpline provided me with rapid straightforward help, even though I was abroad at the time and in a different time zone.

TytoHome: I’ve had very good experience with it. It's easy to do the measurements, and you can see the values and results right away. You can then discuss them and the diagnosis and prognosis with your doctor by phone afterwards. In effect, this means you now have the doctor "at home" and won't have to wait for an appointment.

We have come to know SWICA as a strong partner over many years. We collaborate on issues that go far beyond the scope of classic daily sickness benefits insurance. We benefit, for example, from SWICA's experience in case management and prevention campaigns.

I was really taken by the SWICA customer advisor’s pleasant and friendly manner. She explained all the products to me, didn’t push me to choose anything and was happy to respond to my ideas. The information and benefits for healthier living are outstanding. The apps are simple and uncomplicated. Exactly what I need for my family.

I’ve been insured with SWICA for over forty years, and my two adult sons have been for their whole lives. I even registered my younger son, who was born in 1992, while I was still pregnant. SWICA may be a bit more expensive, as you often hear, but it’s not just the benefits that are perfect. So is the advice you get from the General Agency and over the phone. I’ve never had any problems in Switzerland or on trips abroad thanks to SWICA’s fast and straightforward processing. Given a choice I will always opt for SWICA as the health insurer for my family.

Everything great. Dealt with concerns promptly. Will be glad to recommend!

I am very happy with my personal contact person, Melike Öztekin. Ms Öztekin's clear communication and friendly manner makes the whole process easy to understand and this results in hassle-free care. Well done!

I'm 76 years old, I've been with SWICA for donkey's years, and I've NEVER had any problems with billing. My telephone enquiries have also always been handled to my complete satisfaction. I'm a SWICA customer for life! :-)

Every Swica experience has been completely satisfying for me. In the many years I've been with Swica, I've always been very satisfied! Capable, motivated, reliable, friendly and fast. What more could you ask? Quite simply the number one.

I believe that the year I became a SWICA customer, namely 1964, says everything about my satisfaction with SWICA. If I wasn't satisfied, I'd have switched to another insurance company long ago. 

For me, SWICA is the best health insurer in the world

I’ve been a SWICA client for seven years now and it was only in 2018 that I became aware of the company’s Care Management service. It involves SWICA staff offering support to patients by listening to their needs and sensitive health issues with discretion, empathy and a personal touch. In my case, I was able to resolve several issues, from help with administration and red tape, to above all finding the right healthcare pathway and the right doctor. The Care Management service provides a genuinely human relationship. Patients get a one-on-one chat to go through their problems, whatever they may be, and seek a satisfactory solution. With this service, I’ve been treated as a patient with a health problem that needs solving and not just as a client.

I had a great consultation today with Michel Luu regarding the optimisation of my policy and my premium. It was professional, friendly and clear. Thank you!

During my stay at the rehabilitation clinic following an accident, it was suggested to me that I work with a SWICA care manager, who would be responsible for helping me to find the support I needed to cope as best I could with my return home. I weighed up the suggestion together with my family and we decided to accept. We were incredibly glad we did. We met someone who was really friendly, very well prepared and equally helpful, who found the right solutions and the right forms of support for me. These allowed me to regain my “independence” one year down the line.
It was a very positive experience that I would have no hesitation in recommending. 
I would like to thank my care manager and SWICA.

I’ve been insured with SWICA – or its predecessor OSCA – since birth. I am very happy with the customer service and always look forward to talking to my customer advisors in Heerbrugg. If I have questions, they are always there, always friendly, and always ready to listen to my concerns.
