The company serves approximately 1.6 million insured persons and 31,200 corporate group partners across Switzerland, offering compulsory basic health insurance under KVG/LAMal through multiple delivery models (GP, hospital/doctor list, pharmacy, HMO, and telemedicine), supplemented by a portfolio of supplementary insurance products including Hospita hospitalisation cover, Completa outpatient insurance, Praevita prevention plans, Optima combined packages, Supplementa alternative medicine coverage, and dental insurance.

The company's technology stack is built around a digital health services platform anchored by the mySWICA customer portal, the santé24 24/7 telemedicine service operating in four languages, and a suite of mobile health applications including Benevita Coach, SymptomCheck, Benecura, and Compassana. The TytoHome remote examination device enables virtual medical consultations with real-time vital data capture, while the Expert Finder tool helps patients select hospitals and doctors based on publicly available quality data. The Benevita bonus programme rewards preventive health behaviours with contributions of up to CHF 500 toward gym memberships.

SWICA generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription-based health insurance premiums, reporting CHF 6 billion in premium volume and CHF 123 million in corporate profit for FY 2025. The company distributes through a hybrid model combining direct digital sales via mySWICA, physical branch locations, and a broker network facilitated by the IG B2B EcoHub platform serving corporate clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed because Swiss health insurance premiums are individually calculated based on age, canton of residence, deductible choice, and selected coverage options. SWICA holds the No. 1 customer satisfaction ranking across multiple independent Swiss comparison platforms including Comparis, bonus.ch, AmPuls, moneyland.ch, and K-Tipp.
