What matters most

For private insurance, compare the same scope of cover and request the full terms before deciding.

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
