This depends on when you joined the CHIS, as the annual ceilings are reduced prorata temporis according to your length of membership. The table below explains the ceilings that apply to dental treatment if you joined the CHIS on 1 September of a given year and have a three-year contract ending on 31 August:
Am I entitled to the 9 900 CHF ceiling for dental treatment in my first year of CHIS membership?
No. The carry-forward principle is based on an annual expenditure ceiling of 3 300 CHF. Any unused portion of this ceiling can be carried forward to the following year(s) until a maximum cumulated ceiling is reached after three calendar years. This means that the CHF 9 900 expenditure ceiling will apply only in the third year and only if you have not claimed for dental treatment in the previous two years.
I sent you an invoice for dental treatment amounting to 5 000 CHF but was reimbursed only 2720 CHF, even though the annual ceiling shown in the list of benefits is 3300 CHF. Is this a mistake?
