Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Massagno: what matters
With supplementary insurance, freedom of contract applies: each insurer sets its own benefits, rates and conditions. In Massagno, 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).
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.
