LAMal for students: affiliation and cancellation
Student in Switzerland or abroad: insurance obligation, economical models and cancellation.
Students remain subject to the basic-insurance obligation as long as they are domiciled in Switzerland. Several levers help reduce the premium, and specific rules apply when studying abroad.
- 1In Switzerland, basic insurance remains mandatory; a higher deductible or an alternative model can reduce the premium.
- 2Compare the licensed insurers: at identical basic benefits, only the premium varies.
- 3For long-term studies abroad, a departure may end the insurance obligation, on supporting evidence.
