Key points at a glance
This is about supplementary insurance (LCA) for Saxon: the optional cover that goes beyond basic insurance — for example the private or semi-private hospital ward, dental costs, complementary medicine, vision aids, maternity and preventive care.
In Saxon (postal code 1907), a municipality of roughly 5’897 residents in the canton of Valais, one rule stands out: unlike basic insurance, supplementary cover is a FREE market. Benefits, prices and conditions vary widely from one insurer to the next. Compare according to your actual needs — and sign up while young and healthy, because the insurer is allowed to ask health questions. Commuting between Saxon and a nearby municipality (Saillon (2 km), Riddes (4 km), Fully (4 km))? The range of supplementary policies is the same everywhere — your profile sets the price, not your address.

Supplementary insurance (LCA) in Saxon: 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 Saxon — 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 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.
