Key points at a glance
This page explains to residents of Forel 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 Forel (postal code 1072), a municipality of roughly 2’078 residents in the canton of Vaud, 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 Forel and a nearby municipality (Servion (4 km), Savigny (5 km), Bourg-en-Lavaux (5 km))? The range of supplementary policies is the same everywhere — your profile sets the price, not your address.

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