You

What is the patient contribution?
The patient contribution is your share of the nursing costs, which is limited by law.

Each canton sets its own amount – you will find the figures for Zurich, Aargau and Schwyz with the rates.

What does health insurance pay towards Spitex?

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

No. Our private Spitex costs the same as a public Spitex. We are recognised by all Swiss health insurers; all services covered by health insurance are billed in accordance with the tariff agreement.
