hi there, I will be placed in Swiss for a long term project by my current employer in near future. Although I am much excited to enjoy the Swiss quality life, I am worried about my medication costs over there.. Actually, I had undergone renal transplantation surgery 10 years back and doing great now. However, I need to take medications life long. I just wonder whether the compulsory insurance in Swiss will cover my existing medical bills i.e. post-transplant care. I am aware through online search that Swiss compulsory insurance can not be denied by the insurance provider irrespective of health condition. But the medicines I am currently taking are relatively costlier, I would appreciate if any of you clarify my above doubts.. Great thanks in advance..

Why not contact one of the health insurers and ask them. Some will speak to you in English if language is a problem.

The country is called Switzerland, by the way. Not Swiss.

thanks NotAllThere... contacted a few.. but haven't get any reply yet.. will keep on contacting a few more soon.. BTW, I thought Swiss also refers to Switzerland?

It would be like saying:

I live in American
You live in English
She lives in French
We live in Spanish
You live in Icelandic
They live in Iranian

So, not correct at all.

Hi, just wondering if you were able to work it out. i am not yet there but would like to know if the Health Insurance there would cover my kidney desease. Will be in dialysis in about a year and lost about the cost... any enlightenment on this very much appreciated.

Generally basic health insurance should cover your situation. It provides very broad coverage and no exclusion of pre-existing conditions is possible. You may have difficulty getting supplemental insurance, but that isn't indispensable.
