Key points at a glance

This page explains to residents of Buch 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 Buch (postal code 8263), a municipality of roughly 316 residents in the canton of Schaffhausen, one rule stands out: unlike basic insurance, supplementary cover is a FREE market. Benefits, prices and conditions vary widely from one insurer to the next. Compare according to your actual needs — and sign up while young and healthy, because the insurer is allowed to ask health questions. Commuting between Buch and a nearby municipality (Ramsen (2 km), Diessenhofen (4 km), Dörflingen (5 km))? The range of supplementary policies is the same everywhere — your profile sets the price, not your address.

Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Buch: what matters

With supplementary insurance, freedom of contract applies: each insurer sets its own benefits, rates and conditions. In Buch, 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).
