How the GP model works
Under the Favorit Casa general practitioner model, your general practitioner is your primary contact for all your health-related questions.
- You choose your general practitioner from the comprehensive directory of doctors.
- You contact your general practitioner whenever you experience a health problem. You and your doctor then discuss the best way to proceed, decide on the right specialist and hospital if needed, and agree on any further treatment measures to take.
- No co-payment (does not affect your excess and deductible): For any telemedicine services that santé24 provides (advice, consultations with experts and doctors), as long as basic insurance covers them. Exceptions include: advice and consultations in conjunction with nutrition advice and the psychological/psychiatric counselling service.
- You get a discount of between 8% and 15.5% on your premium When you switch from the Standard basic insurance plan to the GP plan, SWICA gives you a discount of between 8% and 15.5% on your premiums. The exact discount depends on where you live, your age and your chosen excess. Below, we have provided examples of how the minimum and maximum possible discounts are determined under the GP plan: Minimum discount: Adult aged 26 or over, living in Frauenfeld, excess: CHF 300, no accident cover, standard premium: CHF 512.90, with 8% discount: monthly premium of CHF 466.80.
