Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the CHF 1,105.55 dental treatment is covered by compulsory health insurance under Art. 17 lit. c Ziff. 4 or 5 KLV, or Art. 25 KVG.
Decisione estratta
The file is insufficient to decide definitively. Coverage under Art. 17 lit. c Ziff. 4 KLV and Art. 17 lit. c Ziff. 5 KLV is denied on the current record, but further medical clarification is required to determine whether the later treatment may qualify as an insured medical treatment under Art. 25 KVG.
Motivazione estratta
The court accepted that the original cystectomy was a dental measure linked to a tooth and therefore not covered under Art. 17 lit. c Ziff. 4 KLV. A diagnosed ostitis was not equivalent to a proven osteomyelitis. However, the available medical records were too sparse to determine whether the post-operative inflammatory treatment was essentially a medical treatment outside the dental sphere, especially given the disputed extent and significance of the cyst and inflammation.
