The consultation will be billed in the context of health insurance as part of the statutory benefits (analogous to a visit to a doctor's office) and is recognized by all Swiss health insurers. Teleconsultation costs are an average of CHF 50 during business hours on weekdays. Surcharges apply from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. at night as well as on weekends and holidays.

In addition, some insurance models of our health insurance partners do not even incur any franchise or deductible costs.
