LAMal cancellation and cross-border workers

Cross-border workers who work in Switzerland but reside abroad may, depending on the applicable agreements, be entitled to a right of option between Swiss basic insurance (LAMal) and the system of their country of residence. This choice follows precise rules and deadlines.

1. 1Check whether your situation opens a right of option between the LAMal and the insurance of your country of residence.
2. 2If you are insured under the LAMal, your premium depends on the canton of work, the deductible and the model.
3. 3A change of scheme or a departure may justify cancellation: prepare a compliant letter and keep the supporting documents.
