How to save on health insurance in Uri
The biggest levers are your model and deductible. Moving from the average Standard premium (CHF 487.00) to the cheapest available option (CHF 381.40) saves about CHF 1,267 per year. The CHF 2,500 deductible brings the cheapest option down to CHF 267.50 per month. Because coverage is identical by law, none of this reduces your benefits.
The three levers, ranked by impact
- Insurance model. Telmed, HMO or Hausarzt models typically cost 10–25% less than the Standard free-choice-of-doctor model.
- Deductible. The CHF 2,500 tier beats CHF 300 if your yearly medical costs stay below roughly CHF 1,800–1,900 — which deductible to choose.
- Insurer. Same model and region, the spread between insurers is still CHF 50–150 per month.
