Inpatient hospital insurance:
Hospital Liberty
More comfort, choice and top-quality medical care for you – with general, semiprivate and private hospital insurance.
The main benefits
Who is Hospital Liberty suitable for?
Hospital Liberty is a good choice for anyone who wants to feel confident that they will receive the best possible treatment and care before, during and after hospitalisation.
Why supplementary hospital insurance makes sense
Mandatory basic insurance ensures you receive basic medical care. In the event of hospitalisation, additional benefits like a free choice of doctors and hospitals, more privacy in a single or two-bed room, rapid access to specialists and optimal care in the event of emergencies abroad make a huge difference.

General supplementary hospital insurance: free choice of hospitals
Go to a contractual hospital of your choice
With the Hospital Standard Liberty general supplementary hospital insurance, the doors to all Sanitas contractual hospitals in Switzerland are open to you. Do you live in Graubünden, but would like to undergo your operation in another canton, for example at the Inselspital university hospital in Bern? With supplementary hospital insurance, that’s no problem.
Flexible upgrade to higher-category wards
You decide before admission to hospital whether you want to upgrade to a semiprivate or private ward for more comfort in hospital. There are also valuable benefits abroad, such as the organisation of medical treatment and medicines at your place of hospitalisation.
Additional benefits after a hospital stay
Proper recovery is important after a medical procedure: Sanitas contributes to the costs of home help, spa treatments, nursing care at home and care at home after birth.

Frequently asked questions
-
What’s the difference between supplementary outpatient and inpatient hospital insurance?
In the case of inpatient treatment, the patient stays overnight in hospital. With outpatient treatment, on the other hand, the patient leaves the practice or hospital on the same day.

What do the Sanitas Preference Services include?
We provide expert personal support to insured persons with private or semiprivate hospital insurance. Within a few days, your contact will arrange appointments with specialist doctors who are often fully booked for months in advance.
Are you looking for a doctor to provide a second opinion on a critical procedure? We take care of this for you, too. Would you like to recover in a family room after birth? Wherever possible, we’ll help organise a family room for you and cover the costs of overnight accommodation for an accompanying person.
And if you have any questions about medical care, our health advisors are there for you.
