Does the premium change once we move in together? 

The premium can change depending on the place where your new house is situated. The basic insurance premiums are graded with respect to region and canton. The supplementary insurance premiums differ from canton to canton. 

Please let us know about your new address immediately after moving houses.  

With supplementary insurances upon moving in together you can benefit from various discounts:

With a family insurance people living under the same roof can benefit from attractive premium discounts from 5 % to 10% for supplementary insurances. It does not matter whether you are married, are a family, a cohabiting couple or remain in any sort of a flat-sharing community. The only thing that counts is a common residential address. The contract is bound to a single account. There is only one correspondence and billing address which contains the name of a person responsible for payments. If one of the people moves out, he or she has to withdraw from the collective agreement. In addition, for every single family member an insurance solution can be personalized.

more Information

As soon as the milk teeth have fallen out, the adult ones growing beneath show up immediately. It is highly recommended to pay attention to the teeth alignment, and, in case of any possible abnormalities, look for a dentist or orthodontist. Dental treatments will generally not be undertaken by the basic insurance. That is why it is very important to arrange a supplementary insurance for your child on time; an insurance which would cover these services.

Correction of dental misalignment

For the correction of tooth displacement, for instance braces, you get a contribution from your child’s supplementary insurances TOP and COMPLETA until the age of 20. Afterwards you will need a supplementary insurance DentaPlus.                         

TOP 
75% up to CHF 10'000.– per year

COMPLETA 
75% up to CHF 10'000.– per year

DENTAplus 
25% up to a maximum of the chosen version per year

In case you have arranged a supplementary insurance DENTAplus you receive contributions for tooth cleaning, cavity filling and radiographs. In certain cases, on the basis of a given disorder you will get a contribution for dental treatment also from your basic insurance. 

During conflicts with neighbours or suppliers, at arguments while on the road, at school or in any other public space it’s worth trying to resolve issues through dialogue. Successful settlement spares you a lot of anger, expenses and time. And yet, it is not always possible to eliminate quarrels in a peaceful way. At times the situation grows out of proportions leading as such to a lawsuit. If one is a target of criminal attacks one must above all fight for their rights. 

KLuG’s offer of legal protection procures complete coverage of the needs of a family, a couple as well as of singles. Supplementary insurances TOP and COMPLETA already comprise legal protection services. The above is supplemented with a reasonably priced insurance for private- and motor legal protection KLuG Advocare PLUS.

Premium reduction 

The cantons grant individual premium reductions to people on a low income. In general, this support is not automatic and is managed differently depending on the canton. It’s worth asking at your local community or at a compensation fund office in charge whether you are entitled thereto.
