About A+H

Health is the defining business topic of our time.

A+H is the first Swiss provider specialising in work capacity and health topics, with demonstrated expertise in daily sickness benefits insurance (KTG) and accident insurance.

Insurance strategy, medical assessment and active absence management — through the interplay of A+H and the specialist unit AcciMed.

Specialist, not generalist

KTG, UVG and work capacity — exclusively. Deep expertise instead of one topic among many.

Negotiating power through substance

Whoever steers their cases and knows their data negotiates differently with the insurer. This is exactly where insurance technique and medicine interlock. Where a broker mandate already exists, we do not take its place: we work in parallel as a specialist and contribute the substance for KTG, UVG and work capacity.

Freely combinable: timing and scope

Medical early intervention starts from day 7, 14 or 30 — depending on claims burden and waiting period. On top, you choose the scope of A+H's support: from the documented claims process to active case steering with employment-law advice and disability insurance (IV) coordination. Every combination is possible; we derive the right one from your absence rate and risk profile.

Full cost transparency

The standard route is the policy: intervention level and service layer are policied as fixed surcharges on the payroll and settled through the premium — with no separate fees and no volume incentives. Where that is not possible, for example because the insurer is not affiliated, we bill you directly, generally by effort. Which variant applies, and at what rates, we set out in the offer.

Modular

The right tool for every client — existing absence software, situation analysis or case management. We are not bound to any one tool and choose what fits. What stays constant is the medical assessment by AcciMed.

Case Reporting

One report. That's all it takes.

One of the most common questions from companies: how do I report an absence case? The answer is refreshingly simple — through your existing absence tool, such as UKA, or straightforwardly directly to AcciMed. No new system, no rollout, no training. From there, AcciMed takes over.

Straightforward reporting

As soon as the absence reaches the agreed day, HR reports the case to AcciMed — through the familiar tool or with the affected person's contact details. You decide which route fits your processes.

First contact within 72 hours

AcciMed makes contact within 72 hours, conducts the medical conversation of up to 60 minutes, and obtains the authorisation digitally.

Report within 10 days

HR receives the prognosis and partial work capacity, the insurer the report for the benefits assessment. Every step is documented.
