In 2024, the average monthly premium for adults aged 26 and over will increase by 33.80 Swiss francs or 8.6 percent to 426.70 Swiss francs, according to the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (BAG). However, there are significant differences between the cantons. The increase of 33.80 Swiss francs is the highest since the introduction of the health insurance system in 1996. The increase is due to the rising costs of medical care and the increasing number of insured persons. The cantons are responsible for setting the premiums and the differences between them can be significant. The premiums vary depending on age, income, and other factors.
