Recognised hospitals on the hospital list
You generally have a free choice of hospital. Basic insurance covers the cost of hospitalisation in any hospital that features on the list for the canton in which you live. Hospitalisation insurance gives you a free choice of hospital anywhere in Switzerland.
Good to know: Check whether the chosen hospital is recognised for your preferred ward (general, semi-private, private).
