I am a Technical, doctoral or administrative student. Do I have a medical insurance with CERN?

Membership of the CERN health insurance scheme (CHIS) is compulsory* for technical, doctoral or administrative student. CHIS provides for reimbursement of a major portion of reasonable and customary expenses resulting from medical treatment within the conditions specified in its Rules, incurred by its Members.

*Unless the students are subject to compulsory health insurance in Switzerland (LAMal), in which case CERN shall nevertheless insure them against occupational illnesses and accidents. The students concerned should submit a LAMal insurance certificate to the HR programme coordinator.
