After years of debate, TARDOC replaces Tarmed as the reference tariff for ambulatory medical services in Switzerland, alongside ambulatory flat rates. For practices and medical centres, this change is not merely administrative: it directly affects revenue.
Why the change?
Tarmed, in force since the early 2000s, was considered outdated and a source of distortions. TARDOC aims for a more current tariff structure better aligned with the reality of services.
Three concrete impacts for your practice
- Repositioning of certain items: some services are revalued, others not. A speciality-by-speciality analysis is essential.
- Software configuration: your billing solution must be updated and correctly configured.
- Team training: coding evolves, and every error translates into rejections or losses.
How to prepare the transition
Anticipate the analysis of your most-billed items, update your tools and check your first invoices under the new regime. An upstream audit avoids lasting losses.
MediGestion supports practices across Romandy through this transition: configuration, training and quality control of the first TARDOC invoices.
