For an adult aged 26 or over with a deductible of 300 CHF and with accident cover, monthly premiums run from 534.95 CHF (Visana, VIVA – Gesundheitsplan) to 753.75 CHF (rhenusana, Standard model): 127 offers from 26 health insurers.

On the cheapest offer (Visana, VIVA – Gesundheitsplan), the premium goes from 534.95 CHF a month with the 300 CHF deductible to 411.95 CHF with the 2'500 CHF deductible: 123.00 CHF less a month, 1'476.00 CHF a year. The 2'500 CHF deductible stays worthwhile up to around 1'940 CHF of medical costs a year; above that, the 300 CHF deductible works out cheaper.

For an adult aged 26 or over with a deductible of 300 CHF and with accident cover, the cheapest premium per model is: standard model 625.85 CHF (Sympany), family doctor / HMO 534.95 CHF (Visana), flexible model 540.75 CHF (Sympany), telemedicine 543.75 CHF (Helsana).

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 540.10 CHF at Visana (VIVA – Gesundheitsplan) gives 534.95 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.
