How to change insurer for 1st January 2027
- Compare. The premium depends on your municipality, your age, your deductible and the chosen model. An advisor can do the comparison for you, free of charge.
- Apply for membership with the new insurer, usually with its membership form. For basic insurance, it must accept you without a health questionnaire, without reservations and without a waiting period.
- Cancel in writing with your current insurer. The letter must be received by 30 November 2026 at the latest. The FOPH recommends sending it before 15 November, by registered mail or A Plus mail.
- Keep the confirmation. Your old insurance only ends once the new insurer confirms in writing that you are covered without interruption.
Your supplementary insurance can stay with your current insurer: its cancellation deadlines are different, check your general terms. If premiums or cost-sharing remain unpaid after a reminder, the switch may be blocked. The full guide to switching before 30 November
Deductible and model: where the savings are
The higher the deductible, the lower the premium. In return, you pay your medical costs yourself up to the deductible amount, plus 10 % co-payment up to 700 CHF per year for an adult.
- Few medical costs: the 2'500 CHF deductible is often the most advantageous.
- Regular costs (treatment, follow-up): the 300 CHF deductible is often safer.
- Family doctor, HMO or telemedicine: by accepting a first point of contact, the premium drops even further.
- Insured against accidents by your employer (at least 8 hours per week): you can remove accident cover.
For 2027, a lower deductible or a change of model must be requested in writing by 30 November 2026; a higher deductible until 31 December 2026. Calculate the deductible that suits you
