The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is set to expand the benefits catalog of compulsory basic health insurance (OKP) starting January 2025, leading to increased healthcare costs. New inclusions, such as helmet therapy for children and the permanent coverage of the Mpox vaccination, are expected to significantly raise expenditures, potentially exceeding CHF 1 billion for the vaccine alone. Despite calls for cost-saving measures, the expansion of services continues without eliminating any existing reimbursements, raising concerns over rising health insurance premiums.
