New alternative insurance model as of 1 January 2020

One of the features of Multimed is that the insured person has a choice of coordination partners for the provision of preventive health services and the treatment of health problems. The insured person is obliged to consult one of the coordination partners. Further to the Multimed list of doctors, coordination partners are recognised coordinating doctors or group practices as well as the Centre for Telemedicine.

The new insurance model can be taken out in the following cantons: Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Bern and Lucerne.
