Basic insurance in Grimisuat: choosing insurer, deductible and model
You steer your premium in Grimisuat 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 Grimisuat starts as low as 295 francs a month.

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