The comparison Switzerland didn't have.
healthcheckup.ch is the first independent comparison platform for health check-ups in Switzerland. Clear, complete, with no markup for you.
Why I'm building this.
My own experience
When I was looking for a health check-up myself, I was surprised how much time I lost clicking through ten provider websites, still not really understanding what made them different.
An opaque market
Every provider uses its own package names, lists different services, and shows prices that vary depending on the source. A plain, direct side-by-side comparison basically doesn't exist.
A place for clarity
So I started building exactly that: a place where check-ups become comparable, with the same criteria, transparent prices, and real content. For myself, and for anyone else in the same spot.
How the platform pays for itself.
I'm a private person and I run healthcheckup.ch in my free time. There's no company and no investor behind it. Still, running a comparison platform, keeping it current, and regularly reviewing providers takes time and money. To keep the site alive long-term, I receive a small referral commission from providers when you submit an inquiry through healthcheckup.ch.
The price stays the same for you, often even lower, because I negotiate exclusive rebates. And by going this route, I deliberately avoid ad banners, tracking pop-ups, or paid placements. You see a clean page, not a billboard.
- No ad banners, no intrusive pop-ups.
- No pay-to-rank: ordering follows relevance, not the provider's wallet.
- No access to your health data, ever.
Regular check-ups buy you healthy years.
Most serious conditions, like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, or many cancers, develop silently over years. Caught early, they're usually treatable. Caught late, often not.
A health check-up doesn't replace seeing a doctor when something's wrong. But it creates a baseline: you know where you stand before a problem shows up. Blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, liver and kidney values, body composition, heart function, all in a few hours.
Prevention is underdeveloped in Switzerland.
Despite its world-renowned healthcare system, Switzerland lags on prevention. Only about 2.2% of total health spending goes to prevention and health promotion, while the OECD average is 3.4%. Countries like the UK and Italy spend more than twice as much; the Nordics and the Netherlands roughly 50% more.
Participation numbers tell a similar story: just 50% of women in Switzerland attend breast cancer screening (OECD: 55%). Comprehensive preventive check-ups are typically out-of-pocket, since basic insurance only covers a narrow set of specific exams.
The result: an expensive system that reacts rather than prevents. That's exactly where healthcheckup.ch wants to lower the bar, by making the market transparent, prices comparable, and the first step easier.
How other countries do it.
While Switzerland has no nationwide preventive check-up programme, neighbouring countries have long-standing ones that are free and recurring, funded through statutory health insurance.
From age 35, everyone with statutory health insurance is entitled to a free check-up every three years, including blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and a doctor's consultation, fully covered by the health fund.
See the programme ↗The NHS automatically invites all 40–74 year-olds without pre-existing conditions to a free check every five years, focused on cardiovascular, diabetes, kidney and stroke risk.
See the programme ↗Statutory health insurance fully covers the "Examen de Prévention en Santé" from age 16, about 2–3 hours including blood and urine tests, ECG, hearing, vision and dental check. Plus four "Bilans Prévention" at key ages.
See the programme ↗Switzerland has no comparable national programme. Mandatory basic insurance (OKP / KVG) covers only very specific individual screenings (e.g. certain age-bound cancer screenings). Comprehensive health check-ups are typically out-of-pocket. That's exactly where healthcheckup.ch comes in.

A health check-up is not a substitute for seeing a doctor when you have symptoms. If you have health concerns, please consult a medical professional.
