The canton has 3 premium regions set at federal level based on cost differences; health insurers may charge different premiums from one region to another. Your municipality of residence, not your postcode, determines the region. Region 1: 15 municipalities, including Bern, Biel/Bienne, Köniz. Region 2: 212 municipalities, including Thun, Burgdorf, Steffisburg. Region 3: 107 municipalities, including Langenthal, Spiez, Langnau im Emmental.

The large amount is the FOPH-approved premium — the same one as on priminfo.admin.ch, shown under each price — less the redistribution of the environmental levies (the CO₂ levy and the VOC incentive tax). In 2026 every insured person in Switzerland receives 61.80 CHF, which their insurer deducts from the premium invoices: 5.15 CHF a month, the same amount for everyone, whatever the insurer, the model or the deductible. The ranking is therefore unchanged. This amount is not necessarily your final invoice: your canton’s individual premium reduction or a discount for annual payment are added where they apply. For example, the approved premium of 425.10 CHF at Agrisano (AGRIsmart) gives 419.95 CHF after redistribution.

Your cancellation must reach your current insurer by 30 November 2025 at the latest; the change takes effect on 1 January 2026. The premiums on this page are those approved by the FOPH for 2026.
