SWICA

SWICA is a Swiss health insurer offering the compulsory basic plan in several models, from the standard option to family-doctor, HMO, pharmacy and telemedicine versions, so you can match the cover to how you prefer to access care. On top of that it has a broad set of supplementary plans for outpatient treatment, hospital stays and dental work. The website and customer service are available in English, which makes the setup easier for new arrivals.

Medical advice runs through the santé24 telemedicine service, reachable around the clock, and the site also flags information for people moving to Switzerland and for cross-border commuters. The company is based in Winterthur.
