More about us

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

The most important answers at a glance. We are happy to answer any other questions in person.

All questions and answers
What is the difference between private and public Spitex?

When it comes to costs, there is no difference with us: our private Spitex costs the same as a public Spitex. We are recognised by all Swiss health insurers, and all services covered by health insurance are billed in accordance with the tariff agreement.

Public Spitex organisations usually work on behalf of their municipality. The nursing services covered by basic health insurance – needs assessment and advice, treatment care and basic care – are the same for all recognised Spitex organisations.

Prices and ratesHow we work

Which services does health insurance cover?

Health insurers pay for nursing and support measures, provided they are recognised by the insurers. Under basic insurance, these are the nursing services defined by the Health Insurance Act (KVG): needs assessment and advice, examinations and treatment (treatment care) and basic care.

Treatment care must be prescribed by a doctor. Since 1 July 2024, needs assessment, advice and basic care can also be provided without a doctor’s prescription – on the basis of a nursing needs assessment.

Household services are paid by supplementary insurance under certain conditions. You will find the terms in your supplementary insurance policy.

Prices and rates by canton

How quickly can care start?

Within 24 hours. Call us on 044 500 49 27 – we will discuss the next steps with you.

Who can use the services of Spitex Medimex?

Everyone living in the cantons of Zurich (including the City of Zurich), Aargau and Schwyz – with no age limit, so children too.

We also care for guests visiting the region, provided there is a doctor’s prescription.

Canton of ZurichCanton of AargauCanton of Schwyz

Will I always be cared for by the same person?

We try to send the same carers to the same place whenever possible. Because our staff work part-time and are sometimes away on holiday, at training or ill, this is not always possible.

If you only need help around the home at regular intervals, planning for the same staff member is usually feasible.

Donations & legacies
