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

Why are the premiums not the same across the whole canton of Nidwalden?
The canton of Nidwalden has a single premium region: for the same offer, the premium is identical in every municipality. The amount varies by health insurer, model, deductible and accident cover, but not by municipality.
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 379.20 CHF at Agrisano (AGRIsmart) gives 374.45 CHF after redistribution.
Until when can I change health insurer for 2027?
