Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Health insurance premiums are a complex topic. The following answers answer the most burning questions on the subject.

Basic insurance is mandatory for all persons residing in Switzerland. The benefits of basic insurance are defined by the Health Insurance Act (KVG) and are therefore the same for all providers. Since the basic insurance is mandatory, the health insurance companies are obliged to accept every applicant. This applies even if you are chronically ill or already elderly.

In contrast to the basic insurance, the benefits in the supplementary insurances vary from health insurance company to health insurance company. In addition, providers can set premiums according to risk, i.e. graded according to age and gender, and may refuse enrollment without justification.

Insured persons must contribute to the costs of doctors, hospitals and medicines over and above the premium payment. The cost sharing consists of a fixed annual amount, which is called a deductible, and an additional retention of ten percent.

As an insured person, you pay for the costs of medical services yourself until you have reached the selected deductible rate. Within the framework of the ordinary deductible rate, you must pay a maximum of CHF 300 yourself (children and young people are exempt from this). However, the deductible rate can be increased up to 2,500 francs to reduce premiums. For children and adolescents, a deductible rate of up to 600 francs can be agreed.

In addition, the deductible is due. After deduction of the regular deductible, this amounts to ten percent of the costs up to a maximum of 700 Swiss francs, or 350 Swiss francs for those under 18.

In addition to the standard model, most health insurance companies also offer alternative health insurance models. The most common of these are the family doctor model, the Telmed model and the HMO model. With these variants, the insured person is obliged, except in emergencies, to always consult the family doctor, a telephone consultation or an HMO practice first.

The premium for basic insurance can be reduced, in some cases significantly, by choosing an alternative insurance model and a higher deductible. With alternative insurance models such as the HMO, GP, Telmed or other models, you can save up to 25 percent on premiums. The models available to you depend on the health insurance company in question.

Those who choose a higher deductible rate contribute more to the costs in the event of illness and/or accident. On the other hand, they can also save up to 30 percent on premiums. The health insurance companies are free to provide the following additional deductibles in addition to the regular deductible rate:

Children (until 18 years)
  • CHF 100
  • CHF 200
  • CHF 300
  • CHF 400
  • CHF 500
  • CHF 600
Adults (from 19 years)
  • CHF 500
  • CHF 1000
  • CHF 1500
  • CHF 2000
  • CHF 2500

The deductible can be reduced to a maximum of the ordinary deductible or increased to a freely selectable deductible as of 1 January. This applies regardless of treatments already started or planned due to an illness. In particular for the lowering is to be considered according to art. 94 KVV thereby however the period to 30. November after announcement of the new premium as of 1 January. This applies also to the change of the insurance model. Here the legal deadline of 30 November is specified in Art. 100 KVV.

You can terminate your previous health insurance by November 30 with an informal letter. Cancellation during the year is only possible for insured persons with a regular deductible rate in the standard model. These can change their health insurance company as of July 1. For this purpose, a termination by March 31 at the latest is necessary. In any case, the deadline is the date on which the notice of termination is received by the insurer. The postmark alone is not decisive.

The official data from the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is used for the calculation in the comparison calculator. The FOPH publishes this data on its website. The calculation is identical to the independent comparison calculator "priminfo" from the FOPH.
