Is a deductible of 300 CHF or 2'500 CHF better in Basel for an adult aged 26 or over with accident cover?

On the cheapest offer (CSS, HMO (health practice)), the premium goes from 570.75 CHF a month with the 300 CHF deductible to 442.45 CHF with the 2'500 CHF deductible: 128.30 CHF less a month, 1'539.60 CHF a year. The 2'500 CHF deductible stays worthwhile up to around 2'011 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 500 CHF and with accident cover, the cheapest premium per model is: standard model 656.95 CHF (Assura), family doctor / HMO 559.15 CHF (CSS), flexible model 559.35 CHF (Assura), telemedicine 576.95 CHF (Groupe Mutuel – Mutuel).

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 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 564.30 CHF at CSS (HMO (health practice)) gives 559.15 CHF after redistribution.

Until when can I change health insurer for 2026?

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.
