- 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.
