Résumé Omnilex

The appellant requested compulsory health insurance coverage for psychotherapy exceeding the standard limits. The court found that he failed to prove that his case justified treatment beyond two one-hour sessions weekly during the first three years and one one-hour session weekly during the next three years. The appeal was dismissed and the reimbursement request rejected.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 32 LAMal; Art. 3 OPAS; compulsory health insurance coverage for psychotherapy beyond the regulatory treatment limits requires proof of medical necessity for an exceptional extension. The insured person bears the burden of showing that the case departs from the ordinary therapeutic framework; absent such proof, reimbursement above the prescribed session frequency must be refused (consid. n/a).
