Switzerland has one of the best health insurance systems in the world – make sure you take advantage of it.
New to Switzerland? You’ve no doubt been faced with the following scenarios:
-
Struggling to choose the best health insurer for you: Basic health insurance is compulsory in Switzerland and you have to choose a health insurer within the first three months of arrival.
-
Getting to grips with the Swiss healthcare system: The Swiss healthcare system is complex and can be hard to understand when you move here from abroad. You can choose from different deductibles (franchises) for basic insurance. These in turn have an impact on the monthly premiums that you pay to your health insurer. As there is no one-size-fits-all solution, you have to choose the deductible that best suits your needs.
-
Understanding the jargon: Getting to grips with a completely new system is hard enough without having to do so in a foreign language.
Most expats opt for the cheapest solution. However, this can mean that they end up paying more benefits out of their own pockets than is really necessary. Don’t make this mistake. Once you’ve chosen an insurer, you can’t change again until 1 January the following year.
It makes sense to choose Switzerland’s most popular health insurer right from the start.
