Healthcare and biling

According to the OECD, Switzerland has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Services can be organised for the following requests:

• Patients with international health insurance who live in Switzerland or abroad.
• Patients living abroad who wish to be treated at their own expense.
• Patients living abroad whose treatment costs are covered by a company, organisation or embassy.

Cost

• We have a dedicated administrative team who negotiate with all major insurances (BUPA, CIGNA,...) to enquire about coverage prior to each visit.
• All procedures can also be offered on a flat rate basis and paid for by the patient if desired. Most health insurance companies will cover some or most of the cost.
• Due to our low overheads and highly specialised offering, our prices are competitive, transparent and tailored to your specific medical needs.
• On request, we offer special VIP packages to make your visit even more enjoyable. Please inform our administration team of your specific requirements.

How to proceed

• We like to get to know our patients in advance so that we can provide them with the best possible care when they arrive
• Pre-arrival planning and discussions with the cardiac team are our hallmark
• Contact us first to assess your needs, preferably by emailing us your medical records. One of our specialists will then contact you personally to carry out an initial assessment by telephone or video conference

‘We promise that our customers will feel at home with us and receive unrivalled hospitality in addition to first-class medical care. This also includes reading your every wish from your eyes. With a smile.’

We perform most procedures on an outpatient basis - an inpatient hospitalisation is not necessary from a medical point of view. However, this can be organised individually on request for an additional charge. We recommend an overnight stay in a hotel:

• Our partner hotel the Dolder Grand (5*s).
• Other hotels in the vicinity: Ibis Budget (3*), Zürch Fassbind (3*), Novotel Zurich West (4*)

Swiss Ablation also has a very large national and international medical network to give you access to the best possible medical treatment and to accompany you every step of the way.
