Udzielanie i finansowanie terapii spoza katalogu świadczeń gwarantowanych w niemieckim ubezpieczeniu zdrowotnym
Providing and financing therapies outside the catalog of benefits guaranteed in the German health insurance

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study is to discuss the admissibility of providing and financing therapies outside the catalog of benefits guaranteed in the German health insurance. The starting point is the analysis of the so-called St. Nicholas' Day resolution of the German Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) and the judgments of the Federal Social Court (BSG) specifying the guidelines contained therein. Then, against this background, will be presented the regulation of § 2 sec. 1a of Book Five of the German Social Code (SGB V), stipulating – on an exceptional basis – the right of insured persons to health care services not covered by the system guarantee.
