In Vich (postal code 1267), a municipality of roughly 1’035 residents in the canton of Vaud, one rule stands out: unlike basic insurance, supplementary cover is a FREE market.

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