Whether mandatory health insurance must cover the prescribed genetic analyses.
The analyses were not covered because, at the time of prescription, they did not serve a concrete diagnostic or therapeutic need within the meaning of the mandatory insurance rules.
Although the analyses were listed, coverage still required that they be effective, appropriate and economical and that they serve to diagnose or treat an existing disease. The prescription was part of an etiological workup without a concrete therapeutic purpose or sufficient suspicion of a specific genomic anomaly.
