Massima Omnilex

Art. 23 LAMA; reimbursement of hospitalization costs after treatment in a clinic: where an insured person, following an intervention, undergoes medically justified inpatient care, the related hospital expenses are to be borne by the insurer if they fall within the reimbursable treatment costs. The decisive point is the medical necessity and the functional connection between the intervention and the subsequent stay; the mere fact that treatment took place in a clinic does not exclude coverage, unless a statutory exclusion applies.
