Glarus is a mountain canton with a structure unique in Switzerland: since the municipal reform of 2011 it has had just three municipalities — Glarus Nord, Glarus and Glarus Süd — which together form a single premium region. Primary care is provided by family-doctor practices and the cantonal hospital in the capital; distances in the Glarnerland are short.

Hospital outside the Glarnerland: what does basic insurance pay?
The 2026 Glarus hospital list for acute somatic care includes, besides the Kantonsspital Glarus (the cantonal hospital), mainly the Kantonsspital Graubünden in Chur and University Hospital Zurich. Among the hospitals on this list for your treatment, you choose freely and at no extra cost. If you choose, without a medical reason, a hospital that is only on another canton's list, the health insurer and the canton pay at most the tariff of a hospital on the Glarus list; you or your supplementary insurance bear the extra costs. For rehabilitation, only clinics outside the canton are on the list.
