Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these how-to guides different from other insurance information?
Our how-to guides are specifically designed with step-by-step instructions tailored for expats in Switzerland. Each guide provides actionable steps, includes real examples from our experience helping thousands of clients, and focuses on practical implementation rather than just theory.

All guides are reviewed and updated quarterly to ensure they reflect the latest Swiss insurance regulations, premium trends, and provider offerings. This is especially important before the annual switching period (September-November).
Can I trust the information in these guides?
Yes, all information is verified by licensed Swiss insurance experts with years of experience in the field. We maintain strict editorial standards and do not allow insurance companies to influence our content or recommendations.
I'm not an expat. Are these guides still relevant for me?
