Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the oral surgery and excision of amalgam-related pigment changes were covered by compulsory health insurance as a disease treatment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The surgical interventions were not covered; the diagnosed condition did not amount to a compensable disease under compulsory health insurance.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that a health impairment is a disease only if it entails a need for examination or treatment; mere deviations from an ideal state are not enough. On the lower court's findings, no disease existed.
