Key points at a glance

This page explains to residents of Schaffhouse 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 Schaffhouse (postal code 8200), a municipality of roughly 38’964 residents in the canton of Schaffhausen, 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 Schaffhouse and a nearby municipality (Feuerthalen (1 km), Flurlingen (1 km), Neuhausen am Rheinfall (2 km))? The range of supplementary policies is the same everywhere — your profile sets the price, not your address.

Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Schaffhouse: what matters

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