Dear Reader,

I recently wrote a blogpost on how to choose the right health insurance. I hope you read it, if you haven’t you can find it here. For more details about this serie, check the introduction post.

For those of you who have found a new health insurance, first CONGRATULATIONS, I am really proud of you! I hope you will save some money and have a great return on your invested time!

Since you did the hard part of the process, I want to help you with the administrative hassle and get rid of your old insurance policy.

Good news: I prepared a cancellation letter ready to use! (EN/DE/FR)

Now, even if you are lazy as me (which is probably not the case), you have no more excuses. Just modify the highlighted parts in the letter and send it as registered mail. Please, make sure you send it as registered mail, otherwise your old insurance provider may argue that they never received it… and yes they sometimes do that…

If you wish to cancel your current insurance with effect from 31 December, you must do this by no later than 30 November.

Sorry for my Italian speaking fellows, I couldn’t come up with an Italian version…
