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 79.40 CHF at Helsana (BeneFit PLUS Hausarzt R1) gives 74.25 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.
