Whether supplementary hospital insurance covered palliative-care hospitalization costs only if the insured was also hospital-needful under the KVG.
Yes. Under the contract, supplementary benefits depended on KVG hospital necessity; no autonomous broader notion was established.
The supplementary insurance was a complement to compulsory health insurance. Under Art. 33 VVG and the policy conditions, the insurer only had to pay for hospital treatment where the insured had a KVG-based entitlement; an exceptional broader promise for palliative care was not clearly stipulated.
