Basic insurance covers the same care with every insurer. The price doesn't. Extras vary even more. We compare both and help you choose what fits your life. Free and independent.
Basic · mandatory for everyoneThe same care, with every insurer.
Mandatory
Basic insurance
LAMal / KVG
Same benefits everywhere. The law defines what is covered, so the care is identical with every insurer.
Insurers must accept you. Your health plays no role in basic insurance.
You choose the price. Insurer, doctor model and deductible decide your premium.
Optional
Supplementary insurance
LCA / VVG
Extras basic insurance doesn’t pay. For example dental care or a semi-private hospital room.
Insurers can say no. They may ask health questions before accepting you.
Mix and match. It can be with a different insurer than your basic cover.
Basic insurance
Four choices decide what you pay.
The cover is fixed by law. Your premium is not. These are the levers we look at with you.
Lever 1 · Doctor model
Choose how you enter the system.
Alternative models usually cost less than the standard model. In return you agree to start with a family doctor, a health centre or a medical hotline. Emergencies are always covered directly.
StandardSee any doctor or specialist directly.
Family doctorYour GP is your first point of contact.
HMOStart at a health centre.
TelemedicineCall a medical hotline first.

Lever 2 · Deductible
Balance premium and personal costs.
The deductible is what you pay yourself each year before your insurer contributes. A higher deductible lowers your premium; a lower one protects you if you need care often.
Adult deductibles (CHF per year)
3005001,0001,5002,0002,500
Higher premium, lower costs when you need careLower premium, more paid yourself
After the deductible you pay 10% of further costs, up to CHF 700 a year for adults. Children: deductible from CHF 0 to 600.

Lever 3 · Insurer
Same cover, different price.
Because the law fixes what basic insurance pays, insurers compete on price and service. Premiums for identical cover can differ noticeably in the same region, so comparing is worth it.

Lever 4 · Accident cover
Don’t pay for accident cover twice.
If you work at least 8 hours a week for one employer, accidents are already covered through your job. You can then remove accident cover from your basic insurance and lower your premium.
Not employed, self-employed or working fewer than 8 hours a week? Then keep accident cover in your basic insurance.
Supplementary insurance
Extras worth having. And the ones you can skip.
Nobody needs every extra. We look at what you actually use and leave out the rest.
Dental care
Basic insurance pays for almost no routine dental care.
Worth a look if you want help with check-ups or treatment.
Glasses & lenses
For adults, basic insurance generally doesn’t pay for them.
Worth a look if you wear glasses or lenses.
Hospital comfort
A semi-private or private room and more choice of doctor in hospital.
Worth a look if privacy in hospital matters to you.
Travel & abroad
Emergency costs abroad that go beyond what basic insurance pays.
Worth a look if you travel outside Europe.
Complementary medicine
Therapies that basic insurance doesn’t cover.
Worth a look if you use them regularly.
Prevention
Some products contribute to check-ups or fitness.
A nice extra, rarely a reason on its own.
Good to know
Supplementary insurers can ask about your health.
They may decline an application or exclude conditions. That’s why we never ask you to cancel existing supplementary cover until the new one is confirmed.
This first check asks no health questions at all.
Timing
The dates that matter.
No rush. These dates simply decide when a change can take effect.
Late SeptemberNew premiums are announcedYour insurer sends next year’s premium by the end of October.
October – NovemberCompare and decideThe best moment for a review.
30 NovemberNotice deadlineYour cancellation of basic insurance must have reached your insurer.
1 JanuaryNew basic insurance startsNo gap in cover.
Supplementary contracts have their own notice periods, often longer. Check yours before cancelling anything.
Mid-year switch: with the standard model and the lowest deductible, notice by 31 March lets you switch at the end of June.
New in Switzerland? You have three months from arrival to take out basic insurance; cover applies from your arrival date.
