Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insurer must cover the proposed dental bridges as necessary treatment for a congenital deformity.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The case had to be remanded because the lower court failed to examine whether the treatment fell under Art. 17 let. f ch. 3 OPAS; coverage could not be denied on the existing record.
Extrahierte Begründung
The file contained sufficient indications, including the treating dentist's statement about a severe craniofacial asymmetry, to require further investigation under the mandatory health insurance rules and the inquisitorial principle.
