According to the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the costs of mandatory health insurance have risen to 4,834 francs per capita. This represents an increase of 0.4 percent compared to the previous year.

However, experts point out that the actual increase could be significantly higher due to delayed billing, although exact figures on this have not yet been published.
