Yes — QuickMed consultations can be covered by Swiss compulsory health insurance (LAMal/KVG). However, there is an important distinction: Free-choice/basic insurance: the consultation is submitted to the insurer, subject to the normal deductible and 10% co-payment. Telemedicine/GP/HMO insurance models: the patient may be required to contact their designated telemedicine or GP service first. Switzerland permits insurance models that restrict the choice of healthcare provider. QuickMed will bill your Swiss health insurance directly, and as per Swiss law, the patient will receive a copy of the invoice.
Yes. QuickMed can be used for both children and adults. A QuickMed doctor (pediatrician or general practitioner) can assess your child remotely and advise whether treatment can be provided through telemedicine or whether an in-person examination is needed.
Yes. When medically appropriate, your QuickMed doctor can prescribe medication following your consultation. Medications that are not prescribed through our service due to safety concerns or limitations in treatment scope include narcortics (strong painkillers with high addiction risk, e.g., Morphine, Oxycodone), barbiturates (sedatives used for seizures and sleep disorders, e.g., Phenobarbital), immunosuppressants (drugs that weaken the immune system, used for organ transplants or autoimmune diseases), and Subutex (unless you have a proven medical condition with medical documentation that can be provided). When you receive your prescription by secure email as a pdf attachment, you can choose to go to any pharmacy to fill your prescription or you can opt to have your medication delivered straight to your home (for non urgent prescriptions).
Yes. If medically appropriate, your QuickMed doctor can issue a sick note after your consultation. QuickMed provides one sick note per month for 3 days on average. ✓ Sick notes for work, school, gym or other appropriate purposes ✓ Medical assessment by a doctor ✓ No need to visit a clinic if an in-person examination is not required

Sometimes a doctor needs to examine you in person. If this is the case, your QuickMed doctor will explain what you need and recommend the appropriate next step.

Yes. QuickMed can be used without Swiss health insurance. For uninsured patients, the consultation would be paid privately, rather than billed to a Swiss health insurer.
Patients can request a consultation from anywhere in Switzerland, from any canton or city. QuickMed can serve patients at home, while travelling within Switzerland, or from a workplace.
QuickMed is not an emergency service. If you have a medical emergency or symptoms that could be life-threatening, call 144 immediately or go to the nearest emergency department. Telemedicine is not appropriate for emergencies such as: severe shortness of breath, rapid swelling in the throat, chest pain, severe injuries, severe accidents, heavy bleeding, accidental or intentional overdose, alcohol intoxication, confusion, sever headache and symptoms of stroke (weakness in an arm or leg, slurred speech). For urgent but non-life-threatening medical problems, you can speak to a QuickMed doctor who can assess your symptoms and advise you on the appropriate next step. In an emergency 🚨 Call 144 for an ambulance 112 can also be used as the European emergency number in Switzerland. Do not wait for a QuickMed consultation if you think you may be experiencing a medical emergency.
