Key legal question
Whether the insured was entitled to IV coverage of the inpatient scoliosis intensive therapy in Germany, including a newly made orthosis.
Extracted holding
No entitlement existed because the therapy abroad was not shown to be necessary for a lasting and substantial integration result.
Extracted reasoning
The medical file did not establish that the proposed German treatment could, from a prognostic perspective, achieve the lasting and essential therapeutic effect required under the disability insurance rules.
