This support is usually not provided automatically and is handled differently depending on canton. It’s worth your while to ask your municipal authorities or the responsible compensation office whether you are eligible. Exercise this right!

New excess regulations

  • The excess regulation applies to all medicines, i.e. original brands and generics.
  • The excess is 20% if the price is more than 20% higher than the average of the most inexpensive medicines if they contain the same active ingredient.
  • The excess of 10% applies if the doctor or chiropractor expressly prescribes the original drug for medical reasons.

You can help lower drug costs by asking your doctor, pharmacist or KLuG about possible savings. An excess of 20% always means that there is a cheaper alternative that contains the same active ingredient. If there are medical reasons to take the original drug, the doctor can note it down and exempt the insured person from the 20% excess.

Generics

Generics are copied drugs. They can be manufactured once a drug’s patent has run out. These successor drugs contain the same active ingredients as the original product. Clinically they are as effective as the original.

Choose generic drugs

Because there are no high development costs associated with generics, they are much cheaper than the original drugs. They offer a good opportunity to save costs without compromising the therapeutic effects.
