What does Spitex cost in Walchwil?
The cost of Spitex care in Walchwil is governed by the Swiss Health Insurance Act (KVG) and is regulated in the same way for private and public Spitex organisations:
- Basic and medical nursing care: paid for by basic health insurance when prescribed by a doctor. Your deductible (Franchise) and co-payment apply.
- Patient contribution: By law, a maximum of 20 percent of the highest care contribution, i.e. no more than CHF 15.35 per day, may be charged to patients. The remaining costs are covered by the public sector. We clarify in the initial consultation how much of this applies in Walchwil.
- Housekeeping and companionship: are not KVG services and are billed privately. Some supplementary insurance plans contribute to the costs – we are happy to check this with you. The AHV/IV helplessness allowance can also be used for this.
Before we start, you receive a transparent cost estimate from us. Find out more on the page Consultation and assessment or talk to us directly.
