Osteopathy
As an alternative medicine discipline recognized in Switzerland, treatment costs are partially covered and reimbursed by most health insurers through supplementary insurance for alternative and complementary medicine.
However, there are different insurance models and requirements on the insurers’ side.
We therefore recommend that all our clients clarify this with their insurance provider in advance.
Responsibility for clarifying cost coverage with the respective supplementary insurance lies with the patient.
Of course, we also support you as a self-paying client with our full expertise.
