Whether family doctor or orthopedist: medical services are billed via new tariffs. What this means for patients.
Here the press conference follow live:
The criticism shortly before the Federal Council’s decision did not want to leave: the new tariffs for doctors would endanger the care, certain services could no longer be provided.
What is true: For the health area, the change means a small revolution. For over ten years, insurers negotiated with doctor companies and hospitals to finally replace the outdated tariff structure Tarmed. The new structure is intended to map medical services in the outpatient area in a contemporary and appropriate manner.
This means that the prices are adapted to medical progress. Above all, basic care should now benefit from this.
