| If you are hospitalised you will also have to pay a fee of (if I remember correctly) CHF 15 per day which is not covered by health insurance. This will be included in the bill that the hospital send to your health insurance and your health insurance will then bill you.
I can't remember what it's called and I've left Switzerland and haven't got my health insurance conditions anymore, but if you check the small print you will find that detail...
The reasoning for this fee (or so I was told by Assura) is that this covers the cost of food and other amenities. | |

I've been in hospital four times so far under swiss non-accident insurance and have not once paid such a fee.
Possibly because at the time I had semi-private cover, but my insurance covered everything (so no franchise was applied) once I'd been admitted as a in-patient rather than an out-patient.
OP, check with your insurance company, it's quite possible this varies slightly depending on the company/level of cover.
