Does Swiss health insurance cover a DEXA scan?

The Grundversicherung (basic mandatory insurance) covers DEXA scanning in specific clinical situations — for example, following a fragility fracture or for people on long-term corticosteroids where medical indication is established. Proactive screening without symptoms is typically not covered by basic insurance. Supplementary insurers like KPT's Pulse plan may cover costs as part of a broader check-up package.
