Whether the Social Insurance Court had jurisdiction over the claim for supplementary health insurance benefits.
No. The dispute concerned a private supplementary insurance contract governed by the LCA, so jurisdiction lay with the civil courts, not the social insurance court.
The court held that its competence in health insurance matters extends only to disputes under the compulsory basic insurance and appeals against opposition decisions under the LAMal/LPGA framework. Supplementary insurance disputes under the LCA are excluded.
