The health insurance fund only contributes to the rental costs of an enuresis alarm. We offer a rent-to-own option: After a minimum rental period of 40 days (CHF 132), a daily rental fee applies. If therapy is successful quickly, renting is often cheaper than an outright purchase. The rental period is limited to a maximum of 120 days; after this, ownership of the alarm automatically transfers to the family. For longer therapy durations, costs remain capped, and after deducting the basic insurance contribution of CHF 0.94 per day, the total costs are equivalent to an outright purchase. The family can fill out the rental form directly themselves or visit the webshop for a purchase. Outright Purchase An outright purchase is possible without a medical consultation and involves a one-time acquisition with no return of the device; there is no cost contribution from the health insurance fund.

The alarm system can be rented or purchased. For rentals, a doctor's prescription is required for health insurance coverage. The device is delivered by mail, and the alarm therapy can be started at home. In the case of a rental, the alarm system must be returned after the therapy has ended. Upon completion of the therapy, the family will receive a final invoice for submission to the health insurance provider. Reimbursement can be requested from the health insurance company along with the doctor's prescription. What does the health insurance cover? Prerequisites for cost coverage by basic insurance are that the child has reached the age of 5 and that there is a doctor's prescription for the rental of an alarm therapy device. The contribution from basic insurance is 0.94 CHF/day according to the List of Medical Aids and Appliances (item no. 15.20.01.01.2) as of 01/2026.
