Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured remained acutely hospital-needy after 31 August 2005 and was entitled to hospital tariffs.
Decisione estratta
The insured was no longer acutely hospital-needy; the care could be provided in a nursing home, so the insurer did not owe hospital tariffs beyond 31 August 2005.
Motivazione estratta
The medical reports showed severe care dependency but a stabilization and a shift from therapeutic to mainly nursing measures. Since the necessary treatment and supervision could now be performed in a nursing facility, no acute hospital necessity persisted.
