Other Disciplines

Swiss healthcare covers more than doctors and hospitals. Physiotherapy, psychotherapy, medical massage, and chiropractic all have defined roles within the KVG framework — with specific coverage rules for each.

🧠

Psychotherapy

Since 2022 you can access a licensed psychologist directly under KVG — no psychiatrist intermediary required.

Physiotherapy

Covered by KVG with a GP or specialist prescription — how to get treatment and what to expect.

Medical Massage

When massage is a medical treatment vs when it is wellness — and what KVG covers.

Chiropractor

Chiropractic care is covered by KVG and can be accessed without a GP referral in most cases.
