No. Employers are not obliged to take care of the health insurance of their employees – this is part of the employee’s duties. According to the Health Insurance Act (KVG), the entire Swiss residential population is obliged to take out health insurance with a recognized health insurer.

Cross-border commuters can exempt themselves from the insurance obligation if they provide proof that they have health insurance in their country of residence and that this insurance corresponds to the benefits catalog of the KVG.
