Key points at a glance
This page is written for residents of Saint-Maurice, 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 Saint-Maurice, 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-Maurice belongs to region 2 in the canton of Valais) — your state of health is irrelevant, because basic insurance carries an obligation to accept every applicant.

Basic insurance in Saint-Maurice: choosing insurer, deductible and model
Three decisions drive your premium in Saint-Maurice. 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-Maurice 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.
Important for switching: your cancellation of basic insurance must REACH your current insurer by 30 November at the latest (the date of receipt counts, so send it by registered post) for the switch to take effect on 1 January. Also check whether you qualify for premium subsidies in the canton of Valais — many households leave this reduction unused.
Checklist for Saint-Maurice
- 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.
