Health system
Liechtenstein has a universal health care system
with decentralized, free market elements through
mandated health insurance coverage for every
person residing in the country
Broadly speaking, individuals shop around for
their own private health insurance plan, known by
the abbreviation 'OKP', with government registered
and regulated companies. Various supplementary
services with varying private contribution rates
exist for those with special healthcare needs.
The basic plans cover specialist treatments from
neighboring nations such as Switzerland and
Austria, though patients share some costs. Regular
health check-ups with general practitioners are
covered completely, with no out-of-pocket
expenses .
