Questão jurídica principal
Whether the hospital could invoice the transfer transport separately for a privately hospitalized patient under KVG tariff protection.
Decisão extraída
In the inpatient private ward context, KVG tariff protection does not govern the hospital's private-ward tariff structure; separate invoicing of treatment and nursing services under cantonal law is permissible, provided the OKP share is billed according to KVG.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court held that Art. 44 KVG protects only the prices charged within the KVG system. For the private ward, the KVG does not regulate the tariff of treatment and nursing services; the patient/insurer is entitled only to the amount corresponding to what would have been payable in the general ward under the OKP.
