Supplementary cover by profile (senior, young, baby, family) in Eschenbach (Saint-Gall).

Key points at a glance

This page explains to residents of Eschenbach how supplementary insurance (LCA/VVG) works — the optional top-up to basic insurance for hospital stays (private/semi-private, free choice of doctor), dental treatment, complementary medicine, glasses, maternity or prevention.

In Eschenbach (postal code 8733), a municipality of roughly 9’602 residents in the canton of St. Gallen, a close look pays off: supplementary insurance falls under the LCA and is a free market — each insurer sets its own benefits, premiums and conditions. What matters is comparing by real need rather than by the lowest price; and because health questions are allowed, the rule is: sign up early and in good health. Commuting between Eschenbach and a nearby municipality (Wald (4 km), Schmerikon (5 km), Uznach (5 km))? The range of supplementary policies is the same everywhere — your profile sets the price, not your address.

Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Eschenbach: what matters

With supplementary insurance, freedom of contract applies: each insurer sets its own benefits, rates and conditions. In Eschenbach, 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 things to know: supplementary insurance is optional and can be taken out or cancelled independently of basic insurance. And the insurer may — unlike under the LAMal — ask health questions, add exclusions or reject an application. So sign up while young and healthy, and answer the health questions truthfully (otherwise you risk losing benefits).
