The cantonal average across all insurers is CHF 476.41 a month.
What switching would save you
Moving from Visana to Agrisano Krankenkasse AG, the canton’s cheapest insurer, would save you CHF 418.80 a year — for strictly identical cover, since the law requires the same benefits from every insurer.
The figure is for an adult with a 300-franc deductible and accident cover. Your actual gap depends on your age, your deductible and your municipality — the comparator works it out for your situation.
