| | | will change of canton for health insurance affect work permit's canton?
Dear all
I have only lived in Geneva under B permit for work,(validity 2 years renewable) not linked to a particular employer. I recently unofficially moved to another canton for a 3-month internship. I have kept my appartment in Geneva, sublet a room in current canton and the tenant has not declared this so I guess the local authority doesn't know that I moved in their canton. till now officially my address is still in Geneva. BTW not sure if this company will hire me or where I will find a job in CH in 3 months. lots of uncertainty
Shall I inform CSS insurance about the change of canton to pay lower premium than Geneva? , I also need to see a dermatologist here and they request a reference letter from family doctor, if my current letter dated March is not recent enough for them, I prefer to choose a new family doctor here to avoid going back to Geneva during a work day just to get a reference letter from my current family doctor.
Thanks

If you still live officially in Geneva, you need to pay health insurance for Geneva.

This seems like a lot of effort and hassle for a 3-month internship. Easier to keep your insurance in Geneva. But it also depends on which insurance model you have. If you've got one that requires you to see specialists in-canton, you'll either have to move your residency (not just insurance) to the new canton, or make time to see someone in Geneva.

Thanks | | | | | Wonder why the tenant didn't 
Actually you are now "Wochenaufenthalter" in the "other canton". Obviously not the legal way though. So I would not attact attention by confusing the CSS.

I have to the HMO/family doctor model, CSS Geneva tells me that I can see any specialist in any canton with reference letter from family doctor, but I don't want to go to see him in Geneva just for a letter and am considering change to a family doctor in current canton, if possible

I do it for years sometimes
For emergencies and accidents you can go anywhere in Switzerland anyway.
