The CHIS contribution rates are unchanged for 2026, but the contributions themselves will evolve due to the change in the relevant Reference Salary (see Chapter XII of the CHIS Rules). Thus, as of 1 January 2026, the lump-sum monthly contributions based on Reference Salary II will be as follows:
The monthly contribution for voluntary members (e.g. users and associates) with the normal health insurance will be 1 305 CHF per month, whilst for those with the reduced health insurance it will be 652 CHF.
For post-compulsory members other than CERN pensioners, the monthly contribution will be 1 393 CHF in the case of former staff members awaiting a deferred pension and former spouses continuing their affiliation, whilst in the case of formerly dependent children continuing theirs it will be 557 CHF.
The medical service, in collaboration with HUG, will hold a blood donation campaign on 18th of November 2025.
The event will take place in Building 29 on the Meyrin site, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
