Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured could change insurer despite unpaid premiums and cost-sharing amounts accrued before majority.
Decisão extraída
No. The insured remains personally liable for arrears arising under the insurance contract concluded in her favor during minority, so the insurer may refuse the change of insurer until full payment.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 64a(4) LAMal blocks a switch while arrears of premiums, cost shares, moratory interest and collection costs remain unpaid. Minority does not eliminate the insured's own contractual liability toward the insurer; parental solidarity ends at majority but does not extinguish the child's debt.
