Question juridique clé
Whether transport costs for a patient moved by relatives in a private car are covered by mandatory health insurance.
Solution extraite
As a rule, such privately performed transports are not mandatory benefits under KVG and therefore are not reimbursable.
Motifs extraits
Mandatory coverage requires medically necessary transport by an approved provider under KVV/KLV. A private car transport lacks the required authorization and contractual basis; moreover, hospital-to-hospital transfers form part of inpatient treatment and are included in the daily lump sum.
