Save on your premiums
Premium reductions
On average, one insured person in three is entitled to a health insurance premium reduction (subsidy). Entitlement to and the extent of premium reductions vary from one canton to another and depend on income and wealth. INTRAS recommends that families and single persons with modest incomes inquire whether they qualify for such a reduction.
Since January 1, 2007 federal regulations require cantons to reduce the premiums of children and young adults in training from low and moderate income families by at least 50% in relation to the reference premium.
Important !
- Only the canton is competent to determine the allocation of subsidies. The amount of subsidies does not appear on insurance certificates and policies, the reason being that allocation decisions are made well after insurance policies are issued for the following year. INTRAS deducts directly from your insurance premium the amount of subsidies allocated as soon as cantonal decisions reach INTRAS.
- Nous vous rendons attentif au fait que les demandes d'octroi de subsides sont soumis à des délais et procédures spécifiques qui peuvent varier d'un canton à l'autre.
We therefore invite you to click on your canton of residence in order to obtain more information on subsidy application procedures.
