“What are the rules regarding health insurance when returning to Switzerland?”

The Federal Office of Public Health publishes a list of approved health insurers in its capacity as a supervisory authority. You can select whichever insurer you like from this list. Each family member must have their own health insurance. All insured persons pay a premium, which may differ among the insurers. It is thus advisable to compare premiums on www.priminfo.ch.

When returning to Switzerland, you must take out health insurance within three months of registering. Your cover will then be backdated to the date you became resident in Switzerland. We would also point out that a premium supplement is charged when, without adequate justification, the insurance is taken out after this three-month period has expired.
