Priminfo Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Use this neutral tool to compare basic health insurance premiums in Switzerland without worrying about hidden commissions.
The Priminfo Portal is an online tool that allows you to compare the costs of basic health insurance.
Who it's for
This service is available to all residents living in Switzerland. If you are living in the country, you can use this tool to check how different health insurance options compare to one another.
What you get
You receive a neutral comparison of all basic health insurance premiums. This allows you to view the different costs associated with mandatory health coverage so you can make an informed decision about your expenses. The tool provides a way to see how premiums vary across the market.
What it costs you
The service is completely free to use. There are no fees for accessing the information, and you do not need to create an account or go through a login process to use the comparison features.
The catch to know
When searching for health insurance online, you will often find private comparison sites. A common issue with these private sites is that they often prioritize insurers that pay them commissions, which may affect the order in which results are shown. The Priminfo Portal avoids this issue because it is a neutral resource provided by the Federal Office of Public Health.
