I need to buy a computer, smartphone or tablet to communicate with my doctor and other medical services. Will my health insurance cover the cost, since it will be used primarily for medical care?

Hi there,

Compulsory Swiss health insurance does not generally cover the cost of personal communication devices such as laptops, tablets or smartphones.

You can get an overview of the coverage provided in the moneyland.ch guide to compulsory health insurance coverage.
