Frontier workers working in the city of Zug have to send their request for exemption from the compulsory health insurance in Switzerland to the city of Zug or to Gemeinsame Einrichtung KVG. Please note that the request has to be handed in within three months of commencement date of the gainful employment.
Every frontier worker in the city of Zug is obliged to submit a proof of his/her health insurance.
Certain categories of persons can be exempted from compulsory health insurance or are not subject to Swiss legislation. Should one of these reasons for exemption apply to you, please hand in the request for exemption (see under downloads residents).
Every person is subject to compulsory health insurance if she/he cannot provide grounds for an exemption. If no grounds for an exemption are provided, the city of Zug will allocate her/him to a Swiss health insurance and she/he will lose her/his right to choose any health insurance from this moment.
