Key points at a glance
This page is written for residents of Saint-Gall, in the canton of St. Gallen, 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 Saint-Gall, the real way to save is choosing the insurer, the deductible and the insurance model — not cutting cover.
What sets your premium is your FOPH premium region (Saint-Gall belongs to region 1 in the canton of St. Gallen) — your state of health is irrelevant, because basic insurance carries an obligation to accept every applicant.

Basic insurance in Saint-Gall: choosing insurer, deductible and model
Three decisions drive your premium in Saint-Gall. First, the insurer: with legally identical benefits, it is the biggest lever for saving. Second, the deductible (300 to 2’500 CHF a year): if you rarely see a doctor and hold a reserve, the high deductible is usually the better deal; with regular treatment, choose the low one. For comparison: with a 2’500 CHF deductible, the adult premium in Saint-Gall starts as low as 351 francs a month. Third, the model: family-doctor, HMO or telemedicine models cut the premium significantly compared with 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 St. Gallen: the entitlement goes surprisingly often unclaimed.
Checklist for Saint-Gall
- Compare every autumn: insurers adjust their rates each year.
- Match the deductible to your own health profile (work out 300 vs. 2’500 CHF).
- Consider an alternative model (family-doctor, HMO, telemedicine) — same basic benefits, lower premium.
- Check your entitlement to premium subsidies in the canton of St. Gallen.
