Basic insurance in La Scheulte: choosing insurer, deductible and model
You steer your premium in La Scheulte 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 La Scheulte 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.

Also check whether you qualify for premium subsidies in the canton of Bern — many households leave this reduction unused.
