Kernrechtsfrage
Whether AI must reimburse ophthalmologist consultations linked to prescribed auxiliary aids
Extrahierter Entscheid
The regulations on auxiliary aids do not clearly provide for reimbursement of the prescriber’s consultation fees as such.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 21 LAI, Art. 14 RAI and the OMAI govern the aid and its use, not the medical prescription or preliminary consultation; such consultation costs normally fall under compulsory health insurance.
