Your situation
A family of four, new to Zug.
The Hartmann family — Daniel (born 1987), Sofia (born 1990) and their two children, Lina (2018) and Noah (2021) — are relocating from Munich to Switzerland, with an official arrival date of 1 September 2026. Their new home will be in Baar, canton Zug.
You told me three things mattered: that the children never wait for a specialist, that a hospital stay would not mean a shared four-bed room, and that the monthly figure stays predictable while Sofia is not yet working. Everything below is built around those three points.
This is an illustrative sample report. The structure, depth and reasoning are exactly what a real client receives; the family and the figures are representative.
Our consultation
What mattered most to you.
In our call we walked through how the Swiss system actually splits: the mandatory basic cover (KVG), which is identical by law at every insurer, and the supplementary cover (VVG), which is where the real differences — and the health questions — sit.
You asked whether it was worth taking supplementary cover at all. My answer was yes, but for one specific reason: supplementary cover requires medical underwriting, and both children are young and healthy today. Taking it on arrival locks in acceptance. Waiting three years does not.
We also agreed to keep the adults on a CHF 2,500 deductible and the children at CHF 0 — the arithmetic behind that is on the next page.
How we evaluated this
Every choice made deliberately.
Four factors decided this recommendation. None of them is "the cheapest premium" — that number moves every year, and switching basic cover later is straightforward. What is not straightforward is being accepted for supplementary cover later.
Insurability first
Supplementary cover is medically underwritten. Both adults and both children are healthy today, so acceptance is near-certain now. This is the one decision that is genuinely hard to reverse, so it drives everything else.
Deductible arithmetic
For the adults, the CHF 2,500 deductible saves roughly CHF 1,100 a year against the CHF 300 option. That gap is larger than the extra risk you carry, given no ongoing treatment. For children the premium difference is small, so CHF 0 is the rational choice.
Access, not prestige
Private ward is often sold as comfort. The practical value is different: free choice of doctor, faster access to specialists, and treatment anywhere in Switzerland rather than only your canton — which matters most for the children.
Predictable monthly cost
With Sofia not yet earning, the family budget matters. The recommended structure holds the total under CHF 1,200 a month while keeping full private-ward access.
Why we proposed this
Why this, for you.
Each choice tied back to what you told me mattered.
Private hospital cover for all four
You said a shared room during a serious illness was not acceptable, and that specialist waiting times worried you most for the children. Private ward addresses both — and taking it now, while everyone is healthy, is what makes it obtainable at all.
CHF 2,500 deductible for the adults
Neither of you has ongoing treatment. The CHF 1,100 saved per year is a certain gain against an uncertain risk you can comfortably carry.
CHF 0 deductible for Lina and Noah
With young children the doctor visits are frequent and unpredictable. The premium difference is small; the peace of mind is not.
Children's dental supplementary
Orthodontics is the one large, near-certain cost ahead of you. Cover taken before any treatment is proposed is cover that pays.

Hospital cover, explained
Three tiers, one right choice for you.
Hospital cover decides three things: which room you are in, whether you choose your doctor, and where in Switzerland you may be treated. It is the part of supplementary cover that is hardest to add later, because it is fully underwritten.
General
Shared room, usually four beds. Treatment by the doctor on duty, in your canton of residence. Fully covered by basic insurance — no supplementary cover needed.
Semi-private
Two-bed room, treatment by a senior physician, free hospital choice across Switzerland. A middle path that covers most of the practical benefit.
Private
Single room, treatment by the head physician, free hospital choice across Switzerland, and the fastest specialist access. Recommended here because of the children and your regular travel.
My recommendation
Complete cover, held under CHF 1,200.
Take the recommended setup for all four family members, effective from your arrival date of 1 September 2026: basic cover on the telemedicine model, CHF 2,500 deductible for you and Sofia, CHF 0 for the children, with outpatient, children's dental and private hospital supplementary cover throughout.
The total lands at CHF 1,177 a month for the household — complete private-ward protection, full outpatient and children's dental cover, and predictable while Sofia is not yet earning.
The reason to do this now rather than later is not price. It is that supplementary cover is medically underwritten. Today, all four of you would be accepted without exclusions. That is a door which is open on arrival and can close quietly at any point afterwards — a single diagnosis is enough. The basic cover can always be optimised later; the supplementary cover realistically cannot.
