Choose the basic insurance plan that suits your needs

Basic insurance

Anyone who lives in Switzerland must have basic health insurance. And all health insurers have to cover the same benefits under basic insurance. These requirements are defined by the Swiss Federal Health Insurance Act (KVG/LAMal) with the aim of ensuring that everyone can afford a high level of medical care.
