PrimaFlex is the first alternative basic insurance model in Switzerland to actively promote prevention and, at the same time, support equal opportunities in terms of screening.
Upon arrival in the pharmacy*, specify that you are insured under the PrimaFlex model so that you can benefit from these services free of charge if considered necessary by the pharmacist.

Pharyngeal smear used to detect bacteria (streptococcus A) in the case of sore throats, which can have different origins (mostly viral but in some cases bacterial). This helps to identify the appropriate treatment.

Breast cancer affects one in eight women in their lifetime (23% of which occur before the age of 50).
Early detection reduces morbidity and heavy treatments, increases the survival rate, and significantly reduces costs. Therefore, in some cantons, cantonal screening programmes have been set up for women from 50 onwards. However, these programmes are not available throughout Switzerland and only concern a certain age group.
In this context, and to support equal opportunities, we are improving early detection of breast cancer for women insured under PrimaFlex.
To benefit from this, all you have to do is:
Some benefits are particularly good for your health and help to reduce costs (such as breast cancer screening or generic drugs). We wish to encourage persons insured with PrimaFlex to use the following benefits without us charging for the deductible, provided that the criteria for coverage by basic insurance are met:
Sometimes the same medical invoice may contain different benefits or even different appointments.
It is therefore possible that only part of your invoice, i.e. the part relating to the benefits listed above, is exempt from the deductible.
