Supplementary insurance
ACL - 2025
Purpose & Operation
Supplementary insurance, known as VVG, is completely private. They are all different for each health insurer, and unlike the LAMal, insurers are under no obligation to accept policyholders. They will then be asked a series of questions about their medical history and general state of health.
VVGs fill the gaps left by the KVG and offer benefits that improve on the KVG, and are therefore essential.
If the LAMal seemed complicated until now, the LCAs are much more so. Coverage, reimbursement types, rates, cancellation deadlines and contract durations vary from one health insurer to another.
Sparta Group S.A.’s experienced brokers will analyze your customer profile and requirements, and help you choose the complementary products best suited to your needs.
It’s very important to take out ACL insurance, because once treatment has begun or something unfortunate has happened, it will be almost impossible to take out new supplementary insurance, and it will be too late to benefit from the coverage and reimbursements offered by the latter.

- The importance of answering the health questionnaire accurately.
