What matters most

For health insurance, canton, postcode, age, model and deductible may matter depending on the question. Use Priminfo for official basic-insurance premiums.

Clarify your situation first, then compare equivalent terms. A price alone is not enough: cover, exclusions, duration and quality of service need to be considered together.

What to check before comparing

  • Your actual need and the people to cover
  • Included benefits, limits and exclusions
  • Total cost, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses
  • Deadlines, admission conditions and cancellation rules
