Configure Care Cost Allocation

When should this feature be used?

Use this feature during the initial setup of care service billing.

This step is part of the Initial Setup Checklist and is essential for compliant billing under KVG.

What is care cost allocation?

In Switzerland, care costs (under KVG) are typically split between multiple payers.

The allocation is based on:

• The care level (e.g. RAI)

• Cantonal regulations

Typical Allocation

• Resident
  Pays a legally defined daily contribution

• Health Insurance (KVG)
  Pays a fixed amount depending on care level

• Canton / Subsidy Authority
  Covers the remaining amount
