FOPH: Easier access to voluntary accident insurance for self-employed persons
The Federal Council has adopted a revision of the Ordinance on Accident Insurance (UVV) lowering the minimum income threshold for voluntary accident insurance for self-employed persons from CHF 66’690.00 to CHF 44’460.00 per year. The change is expected to give around 40’000 additional self-employed persons access to such insurance. Insurers will also be able to adjust the threshold for persons working part-time. The revised ordinance will enter into force on 1 January 2027.
