Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Cademario: what matters
Unlike basic insurance, supplementary cover is a free contractual product: each insurer defines its own benefits, premiums and conditions. Two policies at the same price can cover very differently in Cademario — for hospital stays (private/semi-private, free choice of doctor), dental treatment, complementary medicine, glasses or maternity. So compare benefit by benefit against your actual needs, not just on price.
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.
Check before you sign
- Your real priorities: hospital, dental, complementary medicine, glasses, maternity?
- Annual limits, waiting periods and exclusions of each benefit.
- Avoid double cover (e.g. with employer or credit-card benefits).
- How the premium develops with age, and the cancellation terms.
