Guide
What is the deductible?
The deductible is one of the most important levers. PrimAI helps compare low and high deductible options with your real situation.
What is the deductible?
The deductible is the annual amount you pay first before basic insurance contributes to costs. A higher deductible lowers the premium but increases your risk.
Low or high deductible?
A low deductible often fits if you expect regular treatment. A high deductible can fit if you expect few costs and have enough reserve.
- CHF 300: lower risk, higher premium
- CHF 2,500: lower premium, higher risk
- adults and children separately
- review every year
How the app helps
PrimAI connects your current policy with possible premiums and shows whether deductible, model or insurer is the better lever.
Read the deductible as an annual budget
The deductible should not be chosen by monthly premium alone. Look at the full year: premium, maximum deductible exposure, coinsurance, medication, expected treatment and available reserve. PrimAI makes this a concrete decision instead of a discount calculation.
Adults, children and family context
An adult deductible is not the same decision as a child deductible. In a family, each person may need a different combination. The app separates policies so one person’s choice is not blindly copied to another.
