Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant had to be placed on the cantonal list of premium defaulters and subjected to a benefit suspension.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The Department could rely on the cantonal scheme and the appellant failed to show that the unpaid premiums arose from a special situation justifying non-listing.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 64a KVG leaves the decision to the cantons; under § 64bis SG the Department must assess the individual case using uniform criteria. As the appellant neither proved a special hardship nor payment efforts, and merely denied liability, the list entry and benefit suspension were lawful.
