    Describe the treatment — Viali builds the correct Swiss invoice

    Swiss outpatient invoicing on TARDOC and Ambulante Pauschalen, Tiers Garant or Tiers Payant, with a Swiss QR-bill — from a plain-language description.

    Only need the billing? Viali TARDOC is also sold on its own — CHF 99 per month, 14 days free.

    Go to Viali TARDOC
    Two invoice types

    One place for every invoice

    Insurance invoices for medically indicated, OKP/KVG-covered care — billed on the official Swiss tariffs. Self-pay invoices for cosmetic or non-indicated work paid by the patient. Both are created from one "New invoice" menu, and a single per-patient list shows both types with status.

    • Insurance (KVG) or self-pay (VVG/private) — from one menu
    • One per-patient invoice list with status: Draft, Validated, Paid
    • Amounts in CHF, tabular and audit-ready
    Self-pay

    Self-pay invoicing with offers, packages and rewards

    For aesthetic treatments and elective work: products and services from your catalogue, VAT per line, and discounts applied straight from your offers, treatment packages and rewards programme — on the same invoice.

    More on offers, packages and rewards — Viali Rewards

    With the bexio integration, self-pay invoices are created automatically the moment the treatment contract is signed — from offer to invoice.

    The full flow — Patient CRM
    AI billing assistant

    Describe it. Viali bills it.

    A split-screen editor: the invoice form on one side, the assistant on the other — with a resizable divider. You describe in plain language what was done; the assistant searches the real TARDOC and Ambulante-Pauschalen catalogues, chooses the right tariff system and proposes the exact positions — applied with one click.

    • Proposes only positions from the official catalogues — never invents codes
    • Understands split billing: covered positions on the insurance invoice, the rest on a separate self-pay invoice
    • If a required field is missing, the assistant says where to enter it — never asks for the value

    Privacy built in

    The AI never receives any patient identity or insurance data — only billing codes and service descriptions.

    No patient data sent to the AI
    Tariff systems

    TARDOC or Ambulante Pauschalen — both built in

    Viali ships the full official catalogues: TARDOC with 1,388 itemized positions (tax points × tax-point value) and the Ambulante Pauschalen outpatient flat rates with 310 positions. One toggle switches between the two systems; the catalogues are searchable and downloadable under Admin → Integrations → TARDOC.

    Billing models

    Tiers Garant or Tiers Payant

    Tiers Garant: the patient pays the clinic and forwards the bill to their insurer — the QR-bill carries the patient as payer. Tiers Payant: the clinic bills the insurer directly — with an insurer recipient block and a QR-bill whose payer is the insurer, paying into the clinic's IBAN. A built-in Swiss-insurer address book auto-fills the recipient.

    QR-bill

    A payable Swiss QR-bill on every invoice

    Every finished invoice — Tiers Garant, Tiers Payant and self-pay — produces a standards-compliant Swiss QR-bill payment part. With a human-verify gate: a payable QR-bill appears only after a person validates the invoice. Drafts carry a clear "ENTWURF – nicht zur Zahlung" (draft, not for payment) notice.

    Validate & generate

    Validate and generate in one click

    One click: save → validate required fields (clinic GLN/ZSR, insurer GLN, tax-point value …) → download the final PDF. Draft → Validated → PDF, with a per-line provider picker (surgeon / anaesthetist) and reusable templates.

    MediData

    Direct submission via MediData

    Send TARDOC and Ambulante Pauschalen invoices electronically to Swiss insurers over the MediData network — directly from Viali. No paper, no PDF exports, no separate MediData software or box.

    Currently in final certification with MediData. Contact us to be among the first clinics connected.

    • One click to the insurer. After validation, the invoice goes straight to the payer over the MediData network — Tiers Payant to the insurer, Tiers Garant to the patient. Built on the current Forum Datenaustausch XML 5.0 standard, mandatory for TARDOC and ambulatory flat rates.
    • Always the right recipient. Viali keeps the MediData participant directory in sync, so every invoice is addressed to the correct insurer automatically — including each payer's supported billing modes.
    • Full transparency after sending. Track every transmission's status and see all open items at a glance. Nothing gets lost between your clinic and the insurer.
    • Insurer responses in plain language. Acceptances, queries and rejections come back into Viali and are shown in readable form — including exactly what the insurer objected to and why — so your team can act right away.
    • Notifications built in. Messages from insurers and the network appear directly in Viali, with read confirmation — no separate portal.
    • Simple onboarding. Each clinic connects its own MediData account in Viali's settings — no IT project, no on-premise installation.
