The canton of Bern is Switzerland's second most populous canton, stretching from the Seeland across the bilingual Biel/Bienne region to the Bernese Oberland. It is one of only three cantons divided into three premium regions: the cities of Bern and Biel lie in the most expensive region, the agglomeration and towns like Thun in the middle one, and rural areas and the Oberland in the cheapest. Where you live within the canton therefore has a tangible effect on your premium.

The canton of Bern is divided into three premium regions — as many as only Lucerne and Zurich besides it.

The same insurer charges different premiums depending on your municipality.
What should insured persons in the canton of Bern pay attention to?▼
Whenever you move — for example from the city of Bern to the countryside — check your new premium region, as the differences between regions are considerable.

Bilingual residents will find insurers offering service in both German and French.

Your written cancellation of basic insurance must reach your current insurer by 30 November at the latest. The old contract ends on 31 December and the new policy starts on 1 January. There is no health check — every insurer must accept you, whether you live in Bern, Biel or the Oberland.
