Geneva is a fully urban canton and, despite its 45 municipalities, forms a single premium region. Its very high density of doctors, the HUG university hospital and the international environment make Geneva one of Switzerland's most expensive premium cantons — which makes comparing insurers and savings models all the more worthwhile. Cross-border commuters from France also have a right to choose between Swiss and French insurance.

How many premium regions does the canton of Geneva have?▼
The canton of Geneva forms a single premium region: the same tariff area applies from the city of Geneva through Carouge to the rural communes. Premium differences in Geneva therefore arise solely from your choice of insurer, deductible and insurance model — and that is exactly where the savings potential is greatest in this high-cost canton.
What should insured persons in Geneva pay attention to?▼
In Switzerland's most expensive environment, an alternative insurance model pays off in particular: Geneva has a dense network of HMO and group practices, and telemedicine models are easy to use as well. Cross-border commuters from France should carefully consider their one-time right of choice (droit d'option) between Swiss KVG/LAMal insurance and French cover.
How do I switch health insurer in the canton of Geneva?▼
Cancel your basic insurance in writing by 30 November at the latest; the letter must reach your current insurer by then. 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 unconditionally, in Geneva too.
