FINANCIAL RELIEF

A diagnosis of "rare disease" or "no diagnosis" is not only an immense emotional burden, it also often results in financial bottlenecks. Caring for the child and their siblings as well as the countless appointments for doctor's visits, therapies and the children's different school schedules often make it impossible for both parents to work. Expenses for aids, mobility or special therapies that are not paid for by the disability insurance or health insurance are difficult to cover. In such cases, the support association can provide quick and uncomplicated financial assistance and provide lasting relief for families. affected families who are in the free KMSK Family Network have the opportunity to submit an application for support up to the end of the affected child's 17th year. This is reviewed by an independent committee. If the decision is positive, the support association provides fast, uncomplicated and demonstrably beneficial assistance. A further application for support can only be submitted again after five years.

As an affected family, please adhere to the following rules:

Step 1

Read through the funding guidelines to find out whether your funding application meets our criteria for awarding financial support.

Step 2

Fill out the appropriate form carefully on the computer:

- Applications for support from affected children, their families and relatives

Step 3

Send us the following documents by e-mail to info@kmsk.ch:

- digitally completed funding application
- Copy of the last tax return
- Current report from the responsible medical team
- Offer for the requested service (if available)
- Rejection of cost coverage by IV, health insurance or insurance company

Please do not send us your application by post, as various people need to check your documents and this is only possible electronically.

Step 4

We will inform you in writing about the decision on your funding application in due course. Please note that this may take some time. If an application is rejected, it may be rejected without justification.

If you have any questions about funding applications, Manuela Stier, Managing Director of KMSK, will be happy to help you by mail further.

The rules and criteria for awarding financial support set out in the funding guidelines and organizational regulations apply. The data submitted will be treated confidentially.
