The Swiss Medical Association (FMH) regrets the rise in health insurance premiums. This is not necessary. Reforms already in place could curb the rise in premiums for some time.
Uniform financing of healthcare services could strengthen outpatient medicine and nursing care. It would also promote coordination in the healthcare system and reduce the burden on premium payers, the FMH announced on Thursday. This would require the Swiss electorate to approve the corresponding amendment to the Federal Health Insurance Act (KVG) in November.
On the other hand, the revision of outpatient tariffs could enable appropriate and updated tariffs, the report continued.
