Switching insurers

By 12 November 2026, all health insurers must publish their premiums and policy terms for the 2027 basic health insurance plan. Premiums for supplementary health insurance plans must be published by 19 November 2026.

Once the premiums are known, you can compare health insurance plans and switch to another insurer until 31 December 2026.
