Standard model – Free choice of doctors

The standard model is the statutory standard version of mandatory basic insurance. It is offered by all health insurance companies. The benefits covered under basic insurance are set out in the Health Insurance Act (KVG). This is why all benefits under any insurance model are identical with all health insurance companies. As the standard model grants free choice of doctors, it is the most expensive option compared to the alternative insurance models.

Pros:

Free choice of doctors at all times
You can go to a specialist directly

Family doctor
(reduction of 15 to 20%)

Family doctor model – GP as first point of contact

Policyholders choosing the family doctor model forgo free choice of doctors and commit themselves to always consulting their fixed GP/family doctor in the event of illness. The health insurance companies determine which doctors can be chosen by policyholders in the family doctor model. These doctors are either affiliated to family doctor networks or independently practising physicians. The family doctor is responsible for the medical care of the policyholders who have chosen him/her. If medically necessary, he/she will refer the patient to a specialist.

Emergencies as well as the annual gynaecological check-up and regular eye examinations are exempt from this obligation.

Pros:

Fixed point of contact for any health-related issues
Premium reduction of about 15 to 20 percent compared to the standard model

HMO
(reduction of up to 25%)

HMO model – A network of physicians

Emergencies as well as the annual gynaecological check-up and regular eye examinations are exempt from this obligation.

Few restrictions as you are usually free to choose your doctor after the telephone consultation
