Save on health insurance
As you know, comparing premiums and adjusting your deductible are two popular methods of saving on health insurance costs. But there are other things you can do: we provide an overview of further effective tips on how to economise on your health insurance.
Take the strain off your budget
Health insurance and other premiums place a strain on the household budget. But insurance such as general health insurance is also a necessary means to an end. And we count ourselves lucky that we're able to draw benefits from the insurance when we need them. But as saving money also always makes sense, we show you the easiest ways to economise with CSS.
How to save on health insurance
It's an annual occurrence: at the end of September, the Federal Council announces the premiums for the coming year. When health insurance premiums rise, there are a few ways in which you can save money.
Choose the right insurance model
When it comes to basic insurance, you can choose from a variety of alternative insurance models (Multimed, Family Doctor model, Health Maintenance Organisation Insurance or Telmed) and get a generous discount for doing so. If you switch to the Multimed model, your maximum retention fee will be just CHF 400 instead of CHF 700.
Increase the deductible
If you only rarely visit a doctor, it's worthwhile opting for a higher health insurance deductible. That way, you benefit from a premium discount.
Exclude accident insurance
Do you work for the same employer for at least 8 hours a week? Then you’re insured through your employer and can exclude accident cover from your basic insurance. In return, you'll pay 7% less in premiums.
Suspension during military service
Anyone doing more than 60 days' consecutive military service is covered by military insurance. Insured persons can suspend their basic insurance during this period.
