Ordered by strength of the published China relationship. Every verdict is based on public evidence with a stated cutoff date — your policy certificate always takes precedence.
Plans issued in Switzerland unless noted otherwise.
Pay first, claim later
8 plansPublic evidence supports reimbursement only: you settle the hospital bill yourself and claim from your insurer afterwards. Compliant invoices, itemised bills and translated records decide whether the claim succeeds.
Based on public evidence as of 2026-08-03 (release R295). This is research information, not insurance advice, a payment guarantee or a contract interpretation. Eligibility, covered area, pre-authorisation, GOP, direct billing and payout always depend on your current policy and final confirmation by your insurer and the hospital.
