Question juridique clé
Whether mandatory health insurance must cover the costs of the requested dental/periodontal treatment linked to Crohn's disease.
Solution extraite
No. Crohn's disease is not a basis for mandatory coverage under the closed list for dental treatment, and there was no reason to judicially extend that list.
Motifs extraits
Arts. 17-19 KLV form an exhaustive catalogue. The Court found no persuasive grounds to add Crohn's disease; the alleged link between periodontitis and Crohn's disease is not established in the medical literature.
