Step by step
The insurer context still matters

The insurer context still matters
EGK is often associated with complementary-health topics. PrimAI therefore explicitly separates basic insurance from supplementary cover and benefits. Useful to avoid a basic-premium switch accidentally touching separate benefit topics.

- supplementary cover
- benefits
- complementary medicine
- deadline
The real risk in this task
The risk with a EGK address change is treating it as a single line of text. In Switzerland, address can influence premium region, correspondence language, invoice delivery, household members and sometimes canton context. If several people are insured together, it also matters whether the address concerns one person, the whole family or only correspondence.
What to check before preparing the document
Before preparing the message for EGK, PrimAI places old address, new address, moving date, insured person, policy number and municipality in one workflow. That makes it easier to see whether the change should also trigger a new premium comparison, model check or document update.
What PrimAI keeps separate for this insurer
The app prepares EGK documents only after identifying whether the task concerns basic insurance, supplementary cover or a policy request.
- basic insurance
- supplementary cover
- benefits
- complementary medicine
- deadline
Connection to comparison, deductible and model
Comparing basic insurance with official premiums is one thing; changing supplementary cover is another. Deadlines and consequences can differ.
