Where this insurer sits on price
We publish no reviews: we have no real ones, and inventing them would be dishonest. Instead, the only facts a comparator can establish — computed on the official premiums, adult profile, CHF 300 deductible, accident included.

This insurer is not the cheapest in any region of the country. Depending on the region, the gap to the cheapest runs from CHF 114.00 to CHF 1'753.20 a year.
What Visana has done with its prices since 2015
On a like-for-like footprint, Visana's median premium went from CHF 346.60 in 2015 to CHF 494.75 in 2026 — +42.7 %.
That is less than the market median (+47.6 %): Visana rose more slowly than the average insurer.
Today Visana is the 16th cheapest of 30 comparable insurers — the rise and the price do not say the same thing.
