Bad news for the insured: Healthcare expenses will rise sharply again in the first quarter of 2023

Thomas Christen (centre), deputy director of the Federal Department of Public Health (BAG), agrees with other federal experts: Due to the continued rise in healthcare costs, premiums will likely continue to rise.

This was the result of a media speech by the Federal Public Health Agency (BAG) in Bern on Thursday. “The premiums follow the costs. Rising costs will also lead to increased premiums, said Thomas Christen, BAG deputy director.

According to Christen, it is too early to draw any concrete conclusions for the upcoming bonus period. However, there are various indications that there will be a further increase in premiums.

Christen said that in recent years, insurance companies could partially reduce premium growth with existing reserves. This will no longer be possible. “There is no more leeway to lean on. The pillow is gone.”
