Security

Security is a top priority for the Medgate Partner Network. That is why the Sanitas Medgate App also places particular emphasis on guaranteed data protection. The user's identity is verified with a process that makes use of an identity card.

Medical data is not transmitted to the health insurance company. Medgate is the manufacturer, distributor and operator of the App. Medical services are provided by members of the Medgate Partner Network.

Costs

The consultation is billed via the health insurance company in the context of statutory benefits (analogous to a visit to a doctor's office) and is recognized by all Swiss health insurers. A teleconsultation costs on average CHF 50. In certain insurance models, there are no costs related to franchises or deductibles.
