About Intras

Intras was founded in 1964 in Geneva. In 2008 it was incorporated into the CSS Group.

Insurance benefits

The law stipulates which benefits a provider must cover in the mandatory basic insurance. This means that the coverage includes the same benefits with all health insurers.

Switching to Intras for basic insurance

For mandatory basic insurance, health insurance providers must accept all applicants without reservations and irrespective of age, gender or state of health. The so-called freedom to choose one's insurer applies. However, special attention should still be given to the notice periods.

Where is Intras active?

Intras offers mandatory basic insurance throughout Switzerland (standard model). Intras also offers alternative insurance models such as the family doctor, HMO or Telmed models. However, some of these are not available everywhere in Switzerland. You can find out most easily if Helsana offers an alternative insurance model in your place of residence and how much you would be able to save by making a premium comparison.
