Whether CHF 1,000 for basic health-insurance franchise and deductible must be paid in addition to the reduced maximum reimbursement of sickness and disability costs.
No. The statutory maximum of CHF 25,000 for home-dwelling persons, reduced by the income surplus, already caps the total reimbursement, including the cost-sharing under the compulsory health insurance.
The reimbursement of sickness and disability costs is a unified in-kind benefit. It covers home care and health-insurance cost-sharing under Art. 14 ELG, but it is limited by the annual maximum and, where applicable, further reduced by the income surplus. There is no room for a separate payment beyond that ceiling, even if earlier years were handled differently.
