Changes in laboratory analyses tariff setting in Switzerland
On May 1, 2024, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a message to amend the Federal Health Insurance Act (KVG) following a parliamentary mandate, which requires a change in how tariffs for laboratory analyses are determined. Previously, the Federal Department of Home Affairs (FDHA) issued the tariffs for the List of Analyses, including all laboratory analyses covered by mandatory health insurance (OKP). Now, these tariffs will be negotiated between collective bargaining partners. The change aims to accelerate the inclusion of innovative analyses in the List of Analyses and slow the increase in healthcare costs.
