Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if any of you have heard of Hospita Allgemein by Swica. Apparently I have it in my policy for 2 years and I did not notice it.

Can I cancel it before the end of this month?

I am getting conflicting information for people I talk to at the Swica office in basel and those I speak to on phone.

When I called on phone they told me I can cancel it before the end of this month but When I went there the young lady at the reception told me I can't and I should have done it in September.

Any help?

Thank you

That is their Hospita General policy, which covers hospital stays outside of your home canton in general ward. It's a supplementary policy, so yes, I think you had to cancel it three months in advance.

However, I heard (in another thread on here) there was some changes to basic insurance that would cover hospital stays outside your home canton, which would mean it would cover some of that SWICA supplementary policy. Changes to Basic Cover in 2012 Probably best to ask SWICA what the Hospita General coverage will include that the basic will not for 2012.
