Guide

How switching works

Switching is more than comparing price. PrimAI brings official premiums, deductible, model and cancellation documents into one app workflow.

01

How switching works

First you check the new premium and model, then prepare cancellation and keep confirmations. PrimAI brings these steps together in the app.

  • scan current policy
  • check FOPH premiums
  • compare deductible and model
  • prepare cancellation or change
  • store documents
02

When switching is worth it

A switch can make sense if premiums rise strongly or another model fits better. Sometimes a different deductible or model at the current insurer is enough.

03

Why PrimAI stays neutral

PrimAI does not sell insurance and earns no commissions. The app helps you understand and prepare your steps.

04

Switching and optimizing are different decisions

Many people search for switching health insurance, but the better answer may be simpler: change deductible, change model or correct location details. PrimAI shows these options before preparing a cancellation.

05

Family, children and multiple policies

A switch is rarely identical for everyone in a household. One adult may keep a high deductible, a child may have different coverage and supplementary insurance may stay with the old insurer. PrimAI separates people and documents.
