What you need to know about the Multimed model

Multimed gives you freedom to act. You have the opportunity to use various digital services in relation to your treatment.

With Multimed, the choice is yours: Multimed family practice or telemedicine centre.

Time frame for treatment

Is treatment by a specialist required? You need a time frame covering the duration of this treatment. You can get this from your Multimed practice or by calling the telemedicine centre on 058 277 77 77. The treatment must only be administered by the specified medical professional. Notify the Multimed practice or telemedicine centre if you get referred.

View time frame in myCSS

You can find all your time frames for treatment in myCSS. It will also show you when a time frame expires and how you can extend it.

Special treatment

Your Multimed practice may refer you to a specialist for more in-depth ex­aminations. The telemedicine centre can also refer you, depending on the situation. You can go directly to the following medical professionals: eye doctors, gynaecologists and midwives.

What to do in an emergency

If you require emergency treatment, you can go directly to an emergency doctor or to hospital. Inform your Multimed practice or the telemedicine centre of any emergency treatment you receive in hospital or from an emergency doctor within 10 days.

Pay less for medication

Under the Multimed model you buy low-cost generics or biosimilars, thus helping to lower healthcare costs. You can get medicine on repeat prescription from your Multimed practice or at a discount in these online pharmacies.

What are the rules?

The rules ginclude informing your Multimed practice or the telemedicine centre about all treatments and referrals, and obtaining their approval. That way, you pay lower premiums.

Anyone not following the rules will face financial consequences. You will have to pay up to CHF 500 per doctor’s bill from your own pocket. If you use original products instead of generic medicines or biosimilars, additional costs may arise.
