Basic insurance in Zunzgen: choosing insurer, deductible and model
You steer your premium in Zunzgen 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 Zunzgen starts as low as 430 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 Basel-Landschaft: the entitlement goes surprisingly often unclaimed.

- Compare every autumn: insurers adjust their rates each year.
