at the right price.

Step 2 Your comparison
2027 premiums approved by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) for the canton of Geneva, published as open data on opendata.swiss. The saving is an estimate: the difference between the current premium you entered and the 2027 premium of each offer, before subsidies. For children: premium for the first child, without family discounts. Only the official Priminfo calculator is authoritative. Avenirs.ch is independent and receives no commission from insurers.
