Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Schattenhalb: what matters

With supplementary insurance, freedom of contract applies: each insurer sets its own benefits, rates and conditions. In Schattenhalb, two equally priced contracts can protect you completely differently — for example the hospital ward (private or semi-private), the dentist, complementary medicine, vision aids or maternity. The right yardstick is your real need, cover by cover.

Two ground rules: first, supplementary insurance is not compulsory — it can be signed or cancelled separately from basic insurance. Second, the provider may check your health and set exclusions or decline; those who sign up young and healthy and answer the health questions precisely secure the best terms.
