Insurance with international solutions
The bilateral agreement between Switzerland and the EU/EFTA has resulted in changes for certain categories of residents of EU/EFTA Member States, i.e. pensioners, frontier workers and those receiving unemployment benefits in Switzerland.
For all other categories of residents abroad, the system remains the same and there is no legal framework for the provision of health insurance coverage by Swiss insurance companies. Health insurers may (but are not required) to offer health insurance products to Swiss Abroad.
We recommend that you contact your insurance company directly to ask if it offers the possibility of health insurance abroad.
If this is not the case, we can provide you with the addresses of companies who do offer international health insurance.
International Health Plan. Insurance cover by CSS for Swiss Abroad. Worldwide security against illness and accident.
When you decide to move abroad from Switzerland temporarily or permanently, you need good insurance. Your Swiss insurance cover lapses when you move outside the country, in accordance with the Federal Health Insurance Act (KVG).
The International Health Plan offers you complete peace of mind at all times wherever you are in the world: whether at home, on holiday or travelling on business. It applies both in your chosen country of residence and abroad.
