Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured was entitled to IV coverage for the left eye contact lens as an aid.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The lens was not coverable because it did not supplement an IV medical measure; the tumor surgery was treatment of an illness and not an IV medical integration measure.
Extrahierte Begründung
The meningioma operation treated a labile pathological condition, i.e. treatment of the illness itself, which falls under health or accident insurance. Since the surgery was not an IV medical measure in the sense of Art. 12 IVG, the contact lens could not be financed as an ancillary aid under Art. 21 IVG.
