Fitness, Glasses & More: How to Get the Most from Your Supplementary Insurance
Your supplementary insurance can do more than just provide coverage – it rewards your healthy lifestyle. Learn how to save money with fitness contributions, vision care, and travel vaccinations.
A good supplementary insurance is more than just emergency coverage. It can actively support your healthy lifestyle and give you real money back every year. Here’s how.
Many insured people don’t realize which valuable “lifestyle” benefits are included in their plan. These contributions are exactly what make supplementary insurance worthwhile, even if you are in perfect health.
Top 3 areas to benefit from:
1. Fitness & Prevention
Most insurers reward your activity. You often receive generous contributions for:
- Gym memberships (often CHF 200–500 per year)
- Classes such as yoga, Pilates, or back exercises
- Sports club memberships
- Nutritional counseling or check-ups
2. Vision care (Glasses & Contact Lenses)
Basic insurance rarely covers glasses. A good outpatient supplementary insurance regularly contributes (e.g., every 2–3 years) CHF 150–300 toward your new lenses or glasses.
3. Travel pharmacy & Vaccinations
Planning a long-distance trip? Many supplementary insurances not only cover necessary travel vaccinations but also contribute to the cost of your travel pharmacy.
Conclusion: Don't just see your supplemental insurance as a cost factor, but as an active partner for your health. It's worth comparing the offers carefully. Some providers are particularly generous with fitness contributions, others with vision aids. Our experts know the details and will find the plan that best suits your lifestyle and gives you the most value.
