General information on health insurance

Health insurance, also called basic insurance is mandatory for all persons living in Switzerland. The insurance must be obtained by immigrants within a certain period after registration. The co-insurance of family members (as in Germany) does not exist, so the insurance is similar to a private health insurance.

All policyholders may choose from 94 approved health insurance providers, as long as the insurance is available in their canton. The insurance can be changed each year by the 30th of November. There may be exceptions, however, which need to be verified with the respective insurers.

An important point is that the employer pays no part of the insurance premium, the employee must provide the monthly expenses on their own. Under certain circumstances, the insured can receive a reduction on its insurance premiums from their canton.
