Costs

What do health insurers pay for?

The costs of antenatal care, birth, and a five-day postpartum stay are fully covered, whether you give birth at the birth centre, at home, or in a hospital. Home visits by our experienced midwives after you return home are also covered.

Geburtshaus Zürcher Oberland has held an official service mandate from the Department of Health and has been on the Zürcher cantonal hospital list since 1 January 2012. Basic health insurance covers the costs for care during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. This also applies if you give birth in hospital. We obtain the cost guarantee for you once you have registered. 

If you have semi-private, private, or flex-model insurance, you can benefit from attractive additional services with us.

  • The Geburtshaus Zürcher Oberland obtains the necessary guarantee from your health insurance provider.
  • Women who live in the canton of Zurich: The costs for you and your child are paid for by your basic health insurance and your canton of residence.
  • Women who live in a neighbouring canton: Many women from other cantons come to the birthing centre, and the invoicing process functions seamlessly. 
  • Therapies such as acupuncture during pregnancy may be covered by additional insurance but can give rise to additional costs. We will be happy to advise you on this.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail us at info@geburtshaus-zho.ch.
