Scheduled inpatient treatments

AXA Healthcare contributes to the costs of scheduled hospital stays in acute-care hospitals, psychiatric clinics, and rehabilitation clinics abroad under supplementary hospital insurance (Hospital General Ward, Hospital Semi-Private, Hospital Flex 1, Hospital Flex 2, Hospital Private, and Accident – Private).

Partnerships with hospitals

Essentially, any hospital can be chosen for a scheduled treatment. We recommend obtaining information from your general practitioner, for example, about the quality of the hospital abroad. The list below contains a selection of hospitals in Europe that work closely with local AXA health insurers.

Should you be planning elective treatment at a hospital abroad, it’s important to state before being admitted that you are a self-pay patient and that you are insured with AXA Switzerland. 

AXA Healthcare can provide benefits for convalescence and spa treatments abroad on request. 

Medical emergency 

The insured is required to notify AXA or the AXA emergency hotline about the treatment without delay by calling +41 58 218 11 11.

Basic insurance cover contributes to the costs of medical emergencies as follows:

• EU/EFTA countries: the relevant national tariff
• Other countries: up to double the costs in accordance with tariffs at the insured's place of residence or place of work

AXA Healthcare also contributes to the costs of medical emergencies under the supplementary hospital insurance (Hospital General Ward, Hospital Semi-Private, Hospital Flex 1, Hospital Flex 2, Hospital Private, and Accident – Private).
