The Swiss Parliament has resolved that from 1 January 2023 onwards, the costs of COVID-19 tests will no longer be met by the Swiss Confederation and must therefore be paid by the individuals undergoing them.
COVID-19 tests ordered by a medical practitioner will have their costs met by the compulsory health insurance of the individual concerned, provided the test is required to determine any further medical action. Such costs will also, however, be subject to the insurance’s deductible and copayment provisions.
