How many premium regions does the canton of St. Gallen have?
St. Gallen is divided into two premium regions: region 1 covers the city of St. Gallen and its surroundings, region 2 the remaining municipalities from the Rhine Valley to the Sarganserland.

With the concentration on fewer sites, journeys for inpatient treatment are becoming longer in some regions. Care via the basic insurance hospital list remains guaranteed; if you want free hospital choice throughout Switzerland, you can cover this with supplementary insurance. With savings models, also check whether network practices are represented in your region.
