Can I claim my gym membership bill back from my Swiss health insurance? Friends keep telling me that gym memberships are covered by health insurance in Switzerland. Is that true?

Hi there,

Compulsory Swiss health insurance does not cover gym memberships. However, a number of supplemental health insurance policies do provide this benefit.

You can easily find out which policies cover gym memberships and how much they cover in the moneyland.ch supplemental health insurance comparison. Just use the "Gym memberships" filter to limit results to policies which include gym membership benefits. You can use the sort tool to list policies by the gym membership benefits they offer rather than by cost.

Best regards from Moneyguru
