Policy | Swiss basic health insurance to rise 5% on average in 2027; you can switch insurers until the end of November
On September 29, the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) announced the premiums for compulsory basic health insurance (Grundversicherung) for 2027: the national average monthly premium is CHF 412, up 5.0% from 2026, i.e. CHF 19.70 more per month. By group, adults pay CHF 487.60 on average (+4.9%), young adults (aged 19β25) CHF 338.80 on average (+4.8%), and children CHF 128.10 on average (+4.6%). BAG said the increase is mainly due to more doctor visits, advances in medical technology and an ageing population.
Please note that the above are only national averages. How much each person actually has to pay depends on the canton and region of residence, age, deductible (Franchise), the insurer chosen and the insurance model (such as the family doctor model, Telmed model, etc.).
