How many health insurers offer basic insurance in the canton of Bern?

Why are the premiums not the same across the whole canton of Bern?

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.

Why is the FOPH-approved premium higher than the price shown?

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 2027 every insured person in Switzerland receives 57.00 CHF, which their insurer deducts from the premium invoices: 4.75 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 444.70 CHF at Agrisano (AGRIsmart) gives 439.95 CHF after redistribution.

Until when can I change health insurer for 2027?

Your cancellation must reach your current insurer by 30 November 2026 at the latest; the change takes effect on 1 January 2027. The premiums on this page are those approved by the FOPH for 2027.
