| Hi There,
One thing to remember about the insurance is that depending on the franchise you have chosen, the first X amount of costs will not be covered. So for example if you have selected a franchise of say CHF1,500, then the insurance only kicks in after you have covered the first CHF1,500 of expenses. For this reason it is important to keep all the invoices you receive in respect of medical expenses.

Just one thing: pregancy related medical visits, scans, blodd test are not submitted to franchise. You simply pay the 10% contributions.
Medecinie (i.e. magnesium, vitamins etc) are submitted to franchise, as is the midwife coming to your home after birth and pump rental.
The insurances say 8 vists and 2 ultrasounds and typically, if all is well you will be visited once every 6 weeks. If the doctor deems he needs ot see you more often or if you are sick and need an extra visit you will be covered.
Also, many doctors here in zürich for example do ultrasound every visist which they do not charge you as they like using their machines and it is good for them to have the info anyway
All the best for the rest!
Ciao
