Why do premiums differ within the canton of Genf?
Because the FOPH divides the canton into premium regions (here: 1). The regions reflect differing healthcare costs — urban regions are usually more expensive than rural ones. Within one region all insured persons of the same insurer with the same options pay the same premium.
Are these the definitive premiums for 2026?
Yes. Premiums for basic insurance must be approved by the Federal Office of Public Health before they apply; approval for a given year happens at the end of September of the previous year. After that they may not be changed during the year.
