More about ÖKK EUROLINE
As soon as you start earning money in Switzerland, you are obliged to take out health insurance in accordance with the bilateral agreements in place between Switzerland and the European Union. You have three months to do so from the start of your employment contract. If you do not live in Switzerland and commute across the border from an EU or EFTA country, you can conclude a special insurance policy for cross-border workers – at ÖKK, this is called ÖKK EUROLINE. If you end your employment in Switzerland, a change to the statutory basic insurance in your country of residence is possible without any problems.
Submit confirmation in your home country
