FAQ - Swiss Tariff 595

Swiss Tariff 595 is the billing standard for health promotion and prevention services in Switzerland. It is used by fitness centres, yoga studios, pilates teachers, health coaches and other certified providers (Qualitop, Qualicert, EMfit, Fitness-Guide) to submit invoices to supplementary health insurers for client reimbursement.

Not mandatory by law, but it is the de facto standard required by Swiss supplementary health insurers for health promotion services. Without using Tariff 595, invoices will not be reimbursed.

Tariff 590 is for complementary medicine therapists (ASCA/RME) with a curative approach. Tariff 595 is for health promotion providers (Qualitop, Qualicert, EMfit, Fitness-Guide) with a preventive approach. These two tariffs serve entirely different professional groups.

The RCC number (Zahlstellenregisternummer) is your unique practitioner identification number. It is automatically assigned when you register with an accredited professional body and must appear on every Tariff 595 invoice.

Not all. Even those that do may not cover every provider or every discipline. Clients should check with their insurer whether their supplementary module covers your discipline and recognizes your certification body.

No. Tariff 595 is exclusively for supplementary insurance. Basic health insurance (KVG/LAMal) does not cover health promotion services from non-physician practitioners.
