Criticism of new medical tariff

Switzerland's family doctors have gone public with their anger at the new medical tariff Tardoc, saying it has failed to deliver the promised boost to general practice

The mfe association warns that costs are climbing sharply while primary care sees no upgrade — and in some cantons even a downgrade.

Tardoc replaced the twenty-year-old Tarmed system in January, with a stated political goal of paying GP’s better for their work.

The association warns the imbalance risks worsening Switzerland's shortage of family doctors, pushing young medics away from general practice toward better-paid specialties — a shift that would ultimately hit patient access to basic care.
