The Federal Council has ordered further changes to Tardoc, the new outpatient medical tariff system that took effect in January
The 2027 update will adjust rates for paediatrics, hospital emergency services, hand surgery, and pathology.
But Bern is pushing back on cost control: the tariff partners have failed to present a joint plan to keep the annual increase within the 4% cap set to stop the new system from inflating healthcare bills on its own.
The Federal Council is also pressing for higher pay for family doctors and paediatricians.
