Use your actual Zurich address
Use the postcode of the municipality where you live, rather than selecting Zurich city by default. If you are moving to Winterthur, Uster or another municipality, update the address in every quotation. Offers need the same starting information to make a meaningful comparison.
Check your doctor before choosing a model
If keeping a particular practice matters, confirm that it participates in the specific family-doctor or HMO model you are considering. If you are new to the area, ask how to find a suitable first point of contact and how appointments and referrals work.
Moving to Zurich: put the practical steps together
Prepare your moving date, employment start date and details of accompanying family members. Alongside health cover, consider the insurance questions around your new home and personal liability. Our service also welcomes people already living in Zurich who want to review their current arrangements.
Bring the information that makes a comparison useful
Your current policy, premium notice, postcode and doctor preferences provide a helpful starting point. Mention changes in your household, work or address. You do not need to know all the answers before requesting a conversation.
Combine official information with personal support
The federal premium calculator offers a neutral reference. Canton Zurich also publishes practical arrival information in English. Prämienheld adds a personal contact and coordinates suitable comparison options.
