What health insurers are there in Switzerland?

Here you will find the complete list of approved health insurers in Switzerland. Every person residing in Switzerland, whether Swiss or foreign, must take out insurance at the latest three months after taking up residence.

Free choice of cash register - also for the sick, the elderly and pregnant women

In the compulsory basic insurance, the insured have free choice of health insurance. Everyone is allowed to leave their health insurance company in compliance with the notice period and to join any new insurance fund, even in old age.

Tip 1: The new health insurance fund must include prospective customers in the basic insurance, even if they are sick or older, under treatment or in hospital. The cash registers are also not allowed to reject pregnant women.

Tip 2: Parents must have their children insured no later than three months after the birth. It is possible to register before the birth.

Tip 3: Health check: In basic insurance, health insurance companies are not allowed to require a health check or make health reservations. If you only want basic insurance, you don't have to answer the health questions.

Conclusion

Switzerland has a nationwide health care concept. Therefore, potential policyholders are free to choose the appropriate compulsory basic insurance from more than 50 private insurance companies. 

However, insured persons should bear in mind when searching that some of these companies operate throughout the country, while others only operate in isolated regions. In general, therefore, policyholders can only select one provider that is active in their own canton of residence. 

If you are looking for the best option for your own interests, you should pay attention to the premium amount. On the other hand, customer satisfaction plays a crucial role. This customer satisfaction is regularly discussed in customer surveys.
