Sintesi Omnilex

A foreign national who had been deregistered from the University of Geneva could not invoke that situation to avoid paying mandatory health insurance premiums. The court held that deregistration did not make the person comparable to any category of insured persons exempt from coverage, so the premium obligation remained in force.

Massima Omnilex

LAMal art. 85; compulsory health insurance premiums and exemption from coverage; a foreign student deregistered from the University of Geneva is not, by that fact alone, assimilated to any statutory category of persons exempt from mandatory insurance. The duty to pay premiums therefore persists unless a specific exemption ground is established.
