Having an operation often entails uncertainty and anxiety. We will support you with a large number of benefits both during and after your hospital stay, to make it as pleasant and worry-free as possible.
The pain in Marcel’s shoulder has been bothering him for months. Since there is no improvement, he seeks medical advice. He undergoes a thorough examination and is diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome. For long-term relief, the doctor recommends surgery, and advises Marcel to get treated by a specialised clinic.
Marcel feels anxious after receiving the diagnosis. His thoughts revolve around the impending operation all weekend. Looking for guidance, he consults SWICA’s Benecura app, where he gets some initial answers to his questions.
The Benecura medical app provides simple, reliable support whenever you are experiencing health issues or feeling ill. The app's SymptomCheck function, which was developed by doctors, gives you personalised recommendations on how to proceed.
After a restless night, Marcel decides that he also wants to contact the santé24 online practice. The medical specialists at santé24 are there to offer him expert advice on all of his questions concerning prevention, illness and accidents – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In the end Marcel decides to undergo surgery. His doctor and the hospital make all of the preparations for his upcoming stay. A dedicated contact person gets in touch with Marcel shortly before he goes into hospital. She gives him comprehensive information on all insurance-related topics and cost cover. She supports Marcel as a direct point of contact throughout the entire process – before, during and after the hospital stay. This is a special service offered to customers with Hospita Semi-Private or Hospita Private hospitalisation insurance.

On the day that he is admitted to hospital, Marcel checks in well prepared and, given the circumstances, in good spirits. The operation is a success, but he has to stay in hospital a few days longer than originally expected in order to recover fully. While he is in hospital and his wife is on a business trip, their children are looked after at home by a Home Nanny.
The Home Nanny service will gladly step in if there are no relatives or friends available to care for a sick or injured child. The service is also intended to assist sick or injured parents who are temporarily unable to take care of their child.
After eight days, Marcel is able to leave the clinic and start physiotherapy. In the weeks that follow, he focuses on his recovery and the necessary follow-up treatments. Two weeks after he is discharged from hospital, his contact person at SWICA calls and asks him how he is doing, and continues to support him through the recovery process.
Thanks to his hospitalisation insurance, SWICA pays a portion of the costs for a housekeeper who helps Marcel with chores and supports him as he recovers.
