Health insurance (LAMal/KVG) covers the accidents of persons who are not gainfully employed (children, pensioners, self-employed individuals, homemakers, etc.) or who work less than eight hours a week. In the event of an accident, the compulsory health insurance covers the costs in the same way as it does with an illness. Insured persons are therefore subject to the deductible amount and co-insurance. Accident insurance (LAA/UVG) taken out by employers for their employees is compulsory for anyone who is gainfully employed for more than eight hours a week. These persons can suspend the accident risk from their compulsory health insurance. In case of an accident, accident insurance reimburses 100% of the costs. Please note that persons receiving unemployment benefits are covered by the SUVA during their period of entitlement to unemployment benefits.
