Robert Kolar Frequently Asked Questions
Does Swiss insurance cover holistic treatments?
Yes — Swiss supplementary insurance (VVG) can cover a wide range of complementary and alternative therapies. This includes acupuncture, TCM, osteopathy, naturopathy, homeopathy, and more. Coverage depends on the specific plan and insurer.
Which supplementary plans cover alternative medicine?
Most major Swiss insurers (Helsana, Swica, CSS, Sanitas, Groupe Mutuel) offer supplementary plans with alternative medicine coverage. Swica and Helsana are known for particularly generous complementary medicine benefits. We compare all options to find the best fit.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
In most cases, no referral is needed for supplementary insurance coverage. However, the practitioner must be certified and recognized by the insurer. We'll help you understand which practitioners are covered under your plan.
Can I add supplementary insurance to my existing KVG?
Absolutely. Supplementary insurance (VVG) is separate from your mandatory basic insurance (KVG). You can choose any insurer for your supplementary plan — it doesn't have to be the same as your basic insurance provider.
Is the consultation free?
Yes, 100% free with no obligation. We are compensated by insurance providers when you choose to sign up through us. This means you get unbiased, expert advice at no cost to you.
How much does supplementary insurance cost?
Supplementary plans with alternative medicine coverage typically cost CHF 30–80/month depending on the scope of coverage, your age, and canton. We compare all options to find the best value.
