LAMal subsidy · Edition 2026

The money
the State
owes you.

Every year, nearly one in three Swiss households does not claim the health-insurance subsidy they are entitled to. We recover it for you — in forty-eight hours, without a single form to fill in. Fully free service.

Unclaimed. Unpaid. Because a form must be filled in, a cantonal scale understood, an income proven. We handle it — for free.

Testimonials

What our
clients
say.

More than 4,800 Swiss households recovered what was owed to them. Three voices among many.

Three years my insurer denied me the subsidy. In one call, they saw what no one had seen. Retroactive payment: 6,420 francs.

Marina B. · Lausanne (VD) · Self-employed

You always think you won't get anything, that you earn too much. It's false. I was entitled to a partial subsidy and no one had told me.

Dragan K. · Carouge (GE) · Family, two children

Arrived from France last year. They handled permits, tax and LAMal in one week. Alone I wouldn't have known where to start.

Frequent questions

Everything, black
on white.

These are the questions our clients ask in the first week. If yours is missing, call us — human reply in 2 hours.

Is the service really free?
Oui. None frais, aucune commission, aucune retenue on les subsides récupérés. Nous sommes rémunérés par les compagnies d'assurance partenaires (courtage FINMA), comme tous les courtiers agréés en Suisse.
How do you calculate my entitlement?
Chaque canton publie une échelle en fonction revenu déterminant, de la fortune et de la composition ménage. Nous appliquons vos données exactes aux barèmes officiels.
Can I claim subsidies for past years?
Dans la majorité des cantons, une demande rétroactive on 12 à 24 mois est possible lorsque le droit existait.
Does my data leave Switzerland?
Non. Hébergement exclusif en Suisse (ISO 27001), conformité LPD révisée (2023). TLS 1.3 en transit, AES-256 au repos.
What if my situation changes during the year?
Mariage, naissance, déménagement intercantonal, perte d'emploi : is nous prévenez, nous actualisons votre dossier auprès de la caisse dans les 72 heures. C'est inclus.
What's the difference with an insurance broker?
Un courtier is propose souvent de changer de caisse en contrepartie de sa commission. Nous faisons l'inverse : nous récupérons d'abord ce à quoi is avez droit, sans toucher à votre contrat actuel.

Your subsidy
is waiting.
Not the other way round.

Fifteen minutes of conversation is all it takes. We handle the rest. Free, no strings.
