Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the clinic had to invoice the insurer at the federal tariff of CHF 493 per day for elective out-of-canton inpatient treatment and refund the difference.
Decisione estratta
No. The insurer's claim for a compulsory billing correction and refund did not succeed.
Motivazione estratta
For elective out-of-canton inpatient treatment, the relevant benchmark is the tariff of the patient's canton of residence. The court held that the clinic could not be compelled in this social-insurance proceeding to apply the federal tariff as a concrete treatment tariff and that issues concerning supplementary insurance or patient-private settlement were outside the dispute.
