Hello,
I'm posting here hoping some local people can shed some light on what happened to me.
I'm an Italian student in Lausanne for the semester. I'm covered by LaMal insurance thanks to my European insurance card. I had to go to a doctor's some weeks ago. I received a huge bill (around 500 chf) for some checks he prescribed to me.
I asked him during the visit whether the analysis were covered by my insurance and his answer was: "yes of course, you'll just need to pay the bill and then send it to your insurance which will reimburse you". Turns out the treatment wasn't included in my health insurance.
Now I have a 500 chf bill which won't be refunded by my insurance. Shall I pay it? What should I do? Thank you in advance, hope you can help me.
