For context: reference-profile comparison
Not the same measure as the average premium above — the FOPH averages over all deductibles, models and age groups actually chosen; below is a single fixed profile (adults 26+, CHF 2,500 deductible, no accident cover, standard model). Main figure = average of this profile weighted by each insurer's membership; value in brackets = simple unweighted average.
