A pensioner successfully sued the Health Insurance House for reimbursement of €15,000 for surgery at a private hospital, which lacked a contract with the institution. The surgery was necessary due to a severe illness that could not be treated in state hospitals. Despite having paid health insurance contributions throughout his life, the pensioner's initial claim was denied. After legal proceedings, the court ruled in his favor, establishing a precedent that patients requiring private medical services due to the unavailability of necessary technology in public hospitals are entitled to reimbursement, regardless of contractual agreements with the Health Insurance House.
