Suspension for long military service
If you have served for at least 60 consecutive days (military, civil, Red Cross, civil defence), you can request reimbursement for insurance premiums for this period. With your marching orders, basic insurance premiums can be suspended for this period.
Limiting doctor’s visits
If you limit your visits to the doctor, you will incur fewer costs and relieve your wallet. Medical advice for questions regarding your health under the telephone number 0844 655 655 is available to you around the clock for free.
Ask for generics
Pharmacists can replace original medications with more affordable generics (same ingredients as the original drug) if the doctor does not expressly prescribe an original drug.
Premium reductions in case of low income
People with low income receive premium reductions from their canton of residence in order to pay the premiums for the basic insurance plan. Please request information from your local authority.
What is the ÖKK family discount?
Children up to 18 years of age receive a family rebate of 50 % on supplementary insurances ÖKK FAMILY and ÖKK FAMILY FLEX . Young people from 19 to 25 years of age receive a 20 % rebate. Condition: At least one parent and the child must sign up for the basic insurance with ÖKK as well as one of these supplementary insurances. The minimum duration of the contract for the whole family is 3 years.
Does ÖKK offer a premium reduction to families with more than one child?
Supplementary insurance plans are free for the third and every additional child up to the age of 18, if both older siblings are not older than 25, live in the same household and are insured for at least the same value with ÖKK.
Who can benefit from premium reductions?
People with a modest income can claim premium reductions (subsidies) from their canton so that they can pay premiums for the basic insurance plan. Every canton determines how much of the costs it will share and how the administrative processing is carried out.
