Key points at a glance
This page is written for residents of Saillon, in the canton of Valais, 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 Saillon, the real way to save is choosing the insurer, the deductible and the insurance model — not cutting cover.

Further down are the actual 2026 premiums for Saillon, practical tips and a free, no-obligation comparison.

Basic insurance in Saillon: choosing insurer, deductible and model
Three decisions drive your premium in Saillon. 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 Saillon starts as low as 295 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 Valais: the entitlement goes surprisingly often unclaimed.
Checklist for Saillon
- 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 Valais.
