Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Office lawfully reduced the listed price of the drug after the indication extension
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. An indication extension also under KVG requires a new economic review, and the 2% foreign price gap justified the reduction.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that the earlier practice requiring a new economy review after an indication extension remains valid under the KVG. Because no suitable comparator and no meaningful daily-cost comparison existed, the foreign price comparison was decisive. The 2% deviation was enough to support a finding of non-economy, especially since comparison with subsidiary countries would have shown a much larger disadvantage.
