Mandatory exemption proced<strong>ur</strong>e<br />
What is an exemption<br />
In Switzerland everybody has to have a Swiss health ins<strong>ur</strong>ance. However under certain conditions<br />
you can be exempted and have a private international ins<strong>ur</strong>ance plan if<br />
1. You are a student, researcher, intern, postdoc, PHD, aupair, etc…<br />
2. And yo<strong>ur</strong> international ins<strong>ur</strong>ance covers all of the benefits required by the Swiss health<br />
ins<strong>ur</strong>ance law.<br />
<strong>Swisscare</strong> FSS plan covers all of the benefits according to the law; however you must still prove to the<br />
authorities that you are a student or researcher, intern, au pair, Phd, Postdoc, etc.<br />
Important : an exemption is not a free ins<strong>ur</strong>ance. The government exemption letter is a<br />
confirmation that you have the right ins<strong>ur</strong>ance coverage in Switzerland.<br />
How do I get an exemption<br />
It is very simple, you must fill out all of the forms that you have received after applying online, and<br />
then you must add proof of research or study that clearly states yo<strong>ur</strong> status as a student or<br />
researcher or aupair etc. For students it is sufficient to hand in a copy of their student card and a<br />
confirmation of registration. Researchers, academic guests, aupairs, interns etc. must also hand in a<br />
copy of their work contract, or a confirmation of their employer clearly stating their status. These<br />
documents must all be of very good quality; otherwise the authorities will not treat the request for<br />
exemption. Additionally you must also hand in a copy of yo<strong>ur</strong> residence/work permit.<br />
� Proof of research or study<br />
� Copy of yo<strong>ur</strong> residence permit<br />
After completing the documents please hand them in to <strong>Swisscare</strong>, for we must sign and stamp<br />
them. We will then forward them to the authorities directly.<br />
How long will it take until I receive exemption?<br />
It can take up to three months in larger cantons, but don’t worry; in the meantime you are already<br />
ins<strong>ur</strong>ed with <strong>Swisscare</strong> if anything happens.<br />
What if exemption is denied<br />
In very rare cases exemption is denied, for example if you has already been in Switzerland for six<br />
years and has not informed <strong>Swisscare</strong> about this. Then we will refund you the premiums and we will<br />
just need proof of yo<strong>ur</strong> new ins<strong>ur</strong>ance to ens<strong>ur</strong>e that there is no gap.<br />
If the authorities contact you concerning yo<strong>ur</strong> exemption, immediately inform <strong>Swisscare</strong> about this.<br />
We will then take any necessary steps in order to ens<strong>ur</strong>e that yo<strong>ur</strong> exemption is in order and that<br />
you can stay ins<strong>ur</strong>ed with us.<br />
