Change your deductible

You choose a deductible of between 300 and 2,500 CHF. You pay your healthcare costs up to that amount yourself. Higher deductible means lower premiums.

The law defines the level of deductible under basic insurance: for adults aged 19 and over, the deductible is a minimum of CHF 300 and a maximum of CHF 2,500. For children up to the age of 18, a deductible does not have to be paid. They can, however, voluntarily select a deductible of CHF 200, CHF 400 or CHF 600.

You can save on basic insurance premiums by increasing your annual deductible. You can make a change at the start of every calendar year. It is easy to check how your premiums will change: The deductible calculator immediately shows which option is best for you.
