Zurich is the most populous canton of Switzerland and is divided into three premium regions — from the city of Zurich through the agglomeration municipalities to the more rural areas such as the Zurich Weinland or the Knonauer Amt. Nowhere is the range of alternative insurance models and doctor networks denser, and the spread between offers is correspondingly wide. With the University Hospital Zurich and several large city and regional hospitals, care coverage is tightly knit.

Frequently asked questions — health insurance in the canton of Zurich

How many premium regions does the canton of Zurich have?▼
Three — more than in most cantons. Region 1 covers the large urban centres, regions 2 and 3 the agglomeration and rural municipalities. The same insurer with the same model therefore costs a different amount in the city of Zurich than, say, in the Weinland; what counts is the premium region of your municipality.
Are HMO and family-doctor models particularly worthwhile in the canton of Zurich?▼
Yes, because hardly anywhere is the network of HMO and group practices as dense as in the Zurich and Winterthur area. If you commit to a defined first point of care, you can save on basic insurance without giving up any benefits. But compare the doctor lists — they differ considerably from insurer to insurer.
Until when can I switch health insurer in the canton of Zurich?▼
Your cancellation of basic insurance must reach your current insurer by 30 November; the switch takes effect on 1 January. The insurance year ends on 31 December. Given the wide choice of insurers and models in the canton of Zurich, the annual comparison is almost always worthwhile.
