Assura’s supplementary packages

What each package pays back towards a preventive check-up. Reimbursement always depends on your individual policy, so use the checker above to see your own figure.

Assura Complementa Extra

Complementa Extra is Assura’s general top-up to basic insurance, closing the everyday gaps in outpatient care. Medically necessary transport is reimbursed without a ceiling. It’s the package for members who want one broad complement rather than a set of themed add-ons.

Assura Natura

Natura is the complementary-medicine package for treatments given by therapists. It covers two dozen recognised methods, among them acupuncture, osteopathy, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, lymphatic drainage and reflexology, provided the practitioner appears on Assura’s list of recognised therapists.

Assura Medna

Medna is Natura’s medical counterpart: alternative disciplines practised by doctors with the relevant training, medical hypnosis and Ayurvedic medicine included, plus approved remedies on prescription. Members who want both usually hold Natura and Medna together, which charges the annual deductible only once.

Frequently asked questions

Many Swiss supplementary insurers cover part or all of the blood panel: KPT, AXA, CSS, Visana, Atupri, SWICA, Groupe Mutuel and EGK. For MRI, coverage is generally more limited. KPT goes furthest, with up to CHF 1'500 per calendar year. AXA, CSS, Visana and Atupri also cover preventive MRI, while SWICA and Groupe Mutuel cover it only partly. Coverage depends on your specific plan. Use our coverage checker to check your individual coverage instantly. You can also request a pro-forma invoice there to pass on to your insurer if needed.

Ahead is collaborating with KPT, which reimburses up to CHF 1'500 of the scan under the KPT Pulse Top or Premium supplementary insurance plans.

Generally, mandatory basic health insurance (KVG/LaMal) in Switzerland does not cover the cost of Ahead's full-body preventive scans.

However, some supplementary health insurances ("Zusatzversicherungen" / "assurances complémentaires") may cover a portion of the costs. The extent of coverage is specific to your insurance provider and your particular plan.

We highly recommend contacting your insurance company before your scan to clarify potential reimbursement.

Ahead Health can provide you with a template letter or a pro-forma invoice to assist with your inquiry.

Next to KPT, based on customer experiences, potential partial coverage has been noted with plans from:

Sanitas
CSS
Sympany

Also, this is highly dependent on the specific supplementary plan. Some insurers, like Helsana, SWICA, Groupe Mutuel may not cover the check-up under their supplementary plans.

Please check with your insurance if the blood tests are covered separately to the MRI, some may cover partial costs of the blood test.
