Overview of health promotion and preventive healthcare offering

How your preventive healthcare contribution breaks down

SWICA covers 90% of the costs under your COMPLETA FORTE supplementary plan, up to 300 francs per calendar year. COMPLETA PRAEVENTA covers an additional 50% of the costs up to 300 francs per year. OPTIMA supplementary insurance covers 90% of the cost exceeding this amount, up to a maximum of 300 francs per calendar year. This can result in prevention contributions of up to 1'300 francs per year. (Here you can find three examples of how SWICA's contribution is calculated.)

What you have to do
To qualify for these contributions, simply send us the relevant documentation for each activity (e.g. course confirmations, invoices and receipts, etc.). SWICA contributes towards the cost of the following health-related services as long as they are carried out by SWICA-recognised partners and providers.

Are online offers also supported?
Yes! SWICA also contributes towards the cost of interactive livestreaming courses run by SWICA-recognised fitness centres, instructors and dance schools in Switzerland. Dance instructors and their students communicate by video or audio to ensure that the quality of the lessons is similar to that in a dance studio. Recorded or downloaded video lessons and online courses where there is no interaction are therefore not supported.
