Health insurance?

Hello,
Moving to Fribourg in 5 weeks time with my boyfriend. Got the moving date yesterday and need to start getting organised
He is being relocated and is getting health insurance through his company.
Do i need to sort out health insurance and a doctor before moving?
What is the best way(company?) of doing this?

Thankful for any help i can get.
Helena

No, you have 3 months from being registered here to get insurance. You don't have to get a Dr.

For insurance company, unless you speak the local language, then get an agent to set you up. There are a couple of threads on this already (Recommendation for an English speaking Insurance Broker).

Also you can look at comparis.ch and it compares all sorts of services.

Good luck with the move.
