Health Insurance in Switzerland

All residents of Switzerland, including students, who are in the country for more than 30 days are required by law to purchase Swiss medical insurance. Franklin provides coverage through SWICA, a Swiss insurance company, and bills students directly for this service on their accounts.

Swiss health insurance requires a deductible for the calendar year that must be met before SWICA can reimburse its portion of medical expenses. Franklin receives the medical bills and posts these to the students’ accounts.
