Costs and recognition - questions and answers.
Are the services of private care covered by health insurance?
Our services are recognized by the Swiss Health Insurance Concordat. As with public Spitex, the services provided by private Care are therefore covered by the Swiss health insurance companies on a pro rata basis.
Isn't living in a retirement home cheaper?
Even if you are admitted to a retirement or nursing home, there are costs that need to be covered privately - for example, the daily fee for living as well as care or medical services that are not covered by health insurance. In concrete terms, this means that you can often make significant cost savings with private Spitex. The best thing to do is to contact one of our care managers, who will be happy to provide you with an individual quote. This will allow you to compare offers and prices at your leisure.
Is private care recognized by the cantonal health authorities?
private Care has operating licenses from the cantonal health directorates of Zurich and Aargau. These licenses confirm that all cantonal requirements for a Spitex operation have been met - in particular with regard to infrastructure, staff qualifications and quality control.
How can I get detailed information about services and costs?
We want you to make the best decision for you personally. So contact us and ask for a non-binding quote. This will give you the transparency you need to make your decision!
How does private care help me to clarify costs?
After the initial consultation and clarification of your personal needs, your Care Manager will draw up an individual offer based on the official cantonal rates (cantonal rates for care services from basic insurance). A deductible will be charged for care and housekeeping services as well as additional services. We will check further cost coverage from supplementary insurance for you. The Care Manager will send the Spitex prescription to the responsible doctor and advise you on cost approvals from your insurance company. As you can see: An offer and our detailed description of services is the best basis for you to make your decision with peace of mind.
