Comparison of health insurance premiums
The higher your excess, the less you will pay for your premium. But be careful! Analyze your healthcare expenses and assess your needs before you decide on an excess.
Being aware of your needs will help you to find the cover that best suits you. You could save money by choosing an alternative insurance model, such as: bonus, HMO, healthcare network, family physician, TelMed.
In principle, your employer should cover you against the risk of accidents. You can save money by excluding accident cover from your medical insurance contract by submitting proof of this to your insurer.
Are you on a low income? A reduction in your healthcare premium would surely benefit your budget. Too many policy-holders who are eligible for subsidies do not apply to the government. Do not make the same mistake. Check if you are entitled to a subsidy from your local canton.
When changing your basic insurance you are not obliged to change your complementary insurance. By separating them you may even be able to make savings! Be sure to evaluate whether you really need complementary insurance, or if the costs would outweigh the benefits.
If you are employed, you can save money by suspending your insurance when you are called up for military service. When your service is over simply send the certificate to your medical insurer.
Most insurers offer a discount if you pay the annual premium in advance. You may also be eligible for a discount if you make your payment in up to 3 installments. Check with your health insurance company for more information!

What if you appreciate the quality of the benefits offered by your current provider, but you are looking for a cheaper solution? Check if switching to a different insurer within the same insurance group could save you money.
