Résumé Omnilex

The court held that, under LAMal art. 85, an insured person must first file an objection with the health insurer before bringing the matter before the social insurance court. Because this procedural step had not been taken, the appeal was dismissed as procedurally premature.

Regeste Omnilex

LAMal art. 85; objection as a prerequisite to judicial appeal; before seizing the social insurance court, the insured must first exhaust the insurer’s objection procedure. A direct appeal filed without prior objection is inadmissible/dismissed for failure to satisfy the mandatory administrative precontentious step.
