That depends. A Swiss compulsory health insurance policy can only be terminated at the end of the each year. An exception is made if you leave Switzerland permanently, in which case you can have your insurer terminate your policy when you leave. Several other exceptions apply, and you can find more information on terminating compulsory health insurance here.

The termination dates for supplementary health insurance policies vary between insurance providers. Typically you can terminate your policy in the middle of the year or at the end of the year. You can find detailed information about terminating a supplementary insurance policy here.
