Key points at a glance
This page is written for residents of Arni, in the canton of Bern, who want to understand, compare and optimise their health insurance. Basic health insurance (KVG/LAMal) is compulsory, and by law its benefits are identical at every insurer: in Arni, the real way to save is choosing the insurer, the deductible and the insurance model — not cutting cover.

Basic insurance in Arni: choosing insurer, deductible and model
You steer your premium in Arni with three levers. The insurer first — it costs nothing in benefits and brings the most. Then the deductible between 300 and 2’500 CHF: high deductible for healthy people with a financial cushion, low deductible for ongoing treatment or planned procedures. For comparison: with a 2’500 CHF deductible, the adult premium in Arni starts as low as 368 francs a month. Finally the insurance model: family-doctor, HMO or telemedicine are noticeably cheaper than free choice of doctor.
Mind the deadlines: for a switch on 1 January, the cancellation must have reached the old insurer by 30 November — what counts is receipt, not the postmark. And check the premium subsidy in the canton of Bern: the entitlement goes surprisingly often unclaimed.
