Questione giuridica chiave
Whether compulsory health insurance had to cover the genetic analysis from the analyses list.
Decisione estratta
The analysis was not reimbursable because, in the concrete case, no acceptable likelihood of therapeutic consequences was shown.
Motivazione estratta
Although the test was listed in the analyses list, coverage required effectiveness, appropriateness, and economy. The court held that the diagnostic end point had been reached: the result did not show concrete treatment consequences or a meaningful change in management.
