Frequently asked questions
We have put together the most important information for you here. If you have any further questions, you will find all the answers in the FAQs.
Basic health insurance covers the costs — depending on your deductible and insurance model. The total cost ranges from CHF 18.90 to CHF 92.16, determined by the doctor’s processing time. You will receive a specialist diagnosis, personalized treatment recommendations, and an invoice you can submit directly to your health insurer. There’s no need to wait for consultation hours or available appointments. This makes our online service faster and significantly more affordable than an in-person visit to a dermatologist.
