Swiss Health Insurance Deadlines Kit (EN) – cancel & switch basic cover

Changing Swiss basic health insurance (Grundversicherung) is a deadline problem more than a shopping problem. For a switch on 1 January, your cancellation must arrive at the current insurer by 30 November — the postmark does not count. Insurers must send the new premium by 31 October. A mid-year switch (30 June) is possible only with the ordinary deductible and standard model, with notice by 31 March.

This English kit for expats in Switzerland packs the official-style deadlines, a bilingual cancellation letter (EN + DE) with placeholders, registered-mail advice, and a simple annual-cost formula (12 × monthly premium + deductible + 10% co-pay up to the legal cap). Figures and links point to BAG and priminfo.admin.ch. Supplementary insurance follows your own contract terms (AVB).
