Health insurance for newborns
Basic health insurance for your newborn is compulsory. If you do not take out health insurance before birth, you can still do so in the first three months afterwards. If you register late or do not register at all, you will be compulsorily assigned to a health insurance company for your baby.

Good to know
- Prenatal registration should be completed for compulsory health insurance and supplementary insurance.
- With prenatal registration, your baby will already be insured at birth and will benefit from problem-free admission to supplementary insurance.
- Admission to private health insurance is also guaranteed in the event of birth defects or illnesses.
Supplementary insurance
In Switzerland, you have the option of taking out supplementary insurance for your unborn child without a health check. Normally, you have to undergo a health check before you can take out voluntary supplementary insurance. This is not required in the case of prenatal registration.
Your child can be refused registration for supplementary insurance after birth if they have a birth defect. Accordingly, supplementary insurance should, if possible, always be taken out before birth.
If your baby is then born with an illness or ailment, they will be fully covered through prenatal registration. This even applies in the event of a premature birth.
With private or semi-private hospital cover under your supplementary insurance, you are entitled to have your child treated by a senior physician or chief physician and not by an assistant physician.
Register for prenatal insurance
As the benefits of supplementary insurance vary from one health insurance company to another, it is advisable to have an individual consultation with insurando. The personal consultation is free of charge and independent. Prenatal registration can be completed either through an advisor or online.
