Frequently asked questions
Who covers the costs of illness abroad?
Abroad, the KVG insurance pays CHF 500 for ambulance transport.
Compulsory basic health insurance in Switzerland does not cover any benefits for repatriation to Switzerland. This applies to cases of illness and also to accidents if you are insured under the KVG (i.e. if you work less than 8 hours a week).
