Frequently asked questions

Supplementary outpatient insurances – also referred to as supplementary healthcare insurances – round out your basic insurance and close key gaps in coverage. They assume the costs of various treatments such as psychotherapy and complementary medicine and make contributions towards fitness courses and gym memberships, medications, orthodontic treatments and surgeries, rescue costs abroad and much more.

Yes, with TOP supplementary insurance you are sufficiently insured against medical emergencies while travelling abroad: Within the EU/EFTA, the costs for outpatient and inpatient emergency treatment are already covered by basic insurance. Under the agreement on the free movement of persons, you are entitled to the same access to public healthcare – doctors, pharmacies, hospitals and ambulances – as residents of the country you are staying in. You only pay any applicable local statutory co-payments.

In other countries, your basic insurance will cover up to twice the cost of the same treatment in Switzerland. If treatment costs abroad are more expensive – which is often the case in countries with high medical costs, such as the US, Japan, Canada and Australia – TOP covers the costs in excess of this amount.

In the event of an emergency abroad, you should always contact our Emergency Call Centre on 058 340 16 11.

No, not if the strength of your eyeglasses (in dioptres) is indicated on the optician's invoice.
