Re: Health Insurance FAQs

Hi,

Great FAQ. I have a question that I can't seem to find answered anywhere.

I am changing from being employed to being Self Employed. So I thought I would only have to pay the extra on accident insurance. My health insurance company says it is a total of 300 CHF/month extra, not what it says on Comparis, because when you work for a regular GmbH or company in Switzerland, they are paying into a collective Accident Insurance, which helps reduce the per person cost.

Is this crap or for real?

Thanks for any ideas,
BruceFan
Yep. Something wrong there. CHF300/ month is more than my total health costs. I'd ask them for a breakdown of this cost and what you get for it. Presumable it's to pay you for being unable to work. I paid about CHF25/month extra for this but cancelled it some years ago it it only paid CHF100/ day after 30 days' illness...
