Disability Insurance Reimbursement for Specialized Orthoses and Shoes
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAAn appellant sought reimbursement from the disability insurance for orthoses and specialized shoes designed for orthoses, following an initial rejection by the cantonal insurance authority. The court reviewed the appellant's claim concerning the necessity of these aids, which are typically covered if required to maintain employability or integrate socially. The court upheld the previous decision, reasoning that the medical necessity for the specific, expensive orthoses and shoes, as opposed to standard or less costly alternatives, was not sufficiently demonstrated to meet the statutory requirements for the requested level of insurance coverage.
