2026 Swiss premiums for cross-border workers living in Austria
13 insurers accept a member living in Austria, from CHF 299.40 to CHF 748.10 a month — for cover the law makes identical.
Between the cheapest and the dearest, the gap reaches CHF 5,384 a year. The cover is the same: the law sets it, not the insurer.

You may be paying twice for accident cover
You work in Switzerland: your employer insures you against accidents under the LAA. The "with accident" variant of basic insurance covers the same risk a second time. Every premium on these pages is therefore shown WITHOUT accident cover — the "accident surcharge" column shows what the redundant variant would cost.
No HMO, no telemedicine, no family doctor
The official file contains only a base tariff for residents abroad. The alternative models that lower premiums inside Switzerland do not exist here. A comparison promising you one would promise something that does not exist.
