Health and accident insurance is mandatory, you have 3 months to get an insurance

If you have the European Health Insurance Card you can get an exemption from the Swiss health insurance obligation -> application needed!

Privately insured residents of other countries may be exempt if their insurance company has signed «Form A» and coverage is sufficient

You will receive a letter (in German!) from the health authorities, asking you to provide proof of insurance coverage

If you don‘t apply for an exemption or get a Swiss insurance, the health authorities will assign you a mandatory insurance!!!

Health Insurance



More and detailed information will be given during the information event about health insurance: 22 September 2016, HG E7, 18:15 – 19:15
