Questão jurídica principal
Whether the framework contract could lawfully restrict the insured person's choice of provider and limit Helsana's reimbursement duty.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For asylum-related welfare health coverage, the Canton could arrange a cost-limited insurance solution with restricted provider choice under the applicable statutory scheme.
Fundamentação extraída
The contract concerned only welfare-supported asylum persons, not ordinary insured persons. Art. 82 AsylG permits support in kind and, given federal financing and the special status of asylum seekers, provides a sufficient statutory basis for a departure from ordinary KVG rules. The restriction was therefore not an unlawful interference with provider freedom.
