Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the hospital costs not covered by social insurance are governed by public law and could be claimed on the basis of the hospital’s terms.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Under § 19(2) SpiG, remuneration for uncovered services is governed by public law; the hospital’s 2015 terms applied.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the patient had no recognized Swiss insurance coverage and was therefore a self-payer. The hospital’s tariff terms, including the deposit and cost-recovery rules, governed the claim.
