Key legal question
Whether the insurers must pay the claimed additional nursing amounts for EMS residents
Extracted holding
No. The claimed amounts would amount to an impermissible additional charge for services covered by compulsory health insurance, and tariff protection applies.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 44 LAMal binds providers to the applicable tariff; for LAMal-covered nursing services, extra billing is excluded. The dispute concerned concrete implementation of an agreed tariff, not its validity.
