Consultants like the complainant were not.

Full Judgment Text: EN,

Summary: The complainant challenges the refusal of some of her requests for the defrayal of medical expenses.
Consideration 19
Extract:
"[A]s the organisation is liable for the acts of its insurer […], the Fund itself must be ordered to reimburse the disputed expenses, which it may then seek to recover from the insurance company."
Keywords:
health insurance; insurance; medical expenses;
Consideration 9
Extract:
"The Global Fund [...] submits that the Tribunal is not competent to hear this dispute, as it is a dispute between the complainant and the insurance companies and, in its opinion, does not concern the organisation itself. The Fund is, however, greatly mistaken as to the nature of this dispute and the duties incumbent upon it in this case.
International civil servants’ social protection forms an integral part of their terms of employment, which are the responsibility of the organisation for which they work. For this reason, despite the defendant organisation’s insistence to the contrary, where an organisation entrusts the responsibility for providing social protection to a private insurance company, as is the case here, the organisation has a duty to ensure that the insurer correctly processes the claims submitted by insured persons. In this situation, the organisation is in fact liable for the acts of its insurer (see, for example, Judgments 2063, under 8, or 3031, under 14, 18 and 19).
In the instant case, the matter raised by the complainant is not in dispute between her and the insurance company, but between her and the Fund itself, and it concerns precisely the latter’s compliance with its duty to ensure the proper examination of a claim for the reimbursement of medical expenses. This matter does fall within the Tribunal’s competence (see, for example, in addition to the aforementioned Judgments 2063 and 3031, Judgments 2249 and 3030)."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"[T]he consensus between the Office and the insurance broker contained in the explanatory note of 20 October 2000

Consideration 7
Extract:
Automatic coverage of spouses under the Organisation's long-term health insurance / Obligation to file a waiver declaration.
"The automatic coverage applied by the Implementing Rules cannot be deemed unreasonable. It is clear that under the system chosen by the Organisation some staff members may be slightly financially penalised if they fail to opt out of the scheme, as their automatic coverage will entail consequent deductions from their salaries. However, in evaluating the possible outcome resulting from automatic coverage and that resulting from a lack of coverage, the Organisation evidently considered that the outcome could be worse in the latter situation as staff members who neglected to enrol their spouses in the long-term care insurance scheme could suffer the severe financial consequences of not being insured when the need arose, and the Tribunal cannot regard the Organisation's choice as unreasonable."

Consideration 10

Consideration 26
Extract:
The complainant suffered a workplace injury at the Organization premises. The results of this seemingly minor accident were catastrophic and the complainant is now permanently and totally disabled and suffers from a rare illness, which has extended up both of the complainant's legs and requires him to use a wheelchair.
"[G]iven the possibly progressive nature of [the illness], the condition may continue to deteriorate seriously. [...] the Tribunal asserts unequivocally that the defendant's obligation to pay the complainant reasonable compensation for the results of his workplace injury is a continuing one and is not affected or diminished by the terms of an insurance policy to which the complainant is not a party."

Consideration 3
Extract:
The Organisation contends that the internal appeal against a decision not to refund medical costs was not lodged in time. In doing so, it takes as the starting point of the time-limit the insurance representative's statement of account rejecting the request for refund. This "plea [...] is unfounded [...] This is because the insurance representative is not an organ of the Organisation, able to take decisions in the meaning of the Office's Service Regulations for Permanent Employees. Decisions concerning insurance benefits are taken by the Office, and more specifically by its President, in accordance with Article 83 of those Regulations."

Consideration 8
Extract:
"The authority of the insurance brokers goes beyond a simple right to make an administrative check of the claims it receives [...]. [Insurers] have the right to check whether, under the insurance contract, they are liable for the costs of the care dispensed. But they must so exercise that authority as to provide the insured with a guarantee that their claims to coverage are examined with all due care."

Consideration 11
Extract:
"The complainant adopts the position taken by the Appeals Committee to the effect that the [organisation] was obligated to appoint its own medical officer for the purposes of dealing with her claim and was not entitled to rely on the medical adviser appointed by [the insurance company] Van Breda for that purpose. For the Tribunal to so hold would amount to a denial of the organisation's right to appoint the medical officer of its choice. The fact that it selects and relies on the same medical adviser as the one appointed by the insurer, whom it has engaged to carry out its obligations to provide health coverage to its staff, is not in the least surprising. Such appointment cannot have any adverse effect upon the complainant who retains the right given by Article 90 [of the Service Regulations] to have any contested issue relating to medical matters determined by the Invalidity Committee."

Consideration 13
Extract:
"With regard to the complainant's claim to be provided with copies of any medical reports relied upon by [the insurance brokers] Van Breda, it is trite law that a staff member's right to see medical reports may not ordinarily be challenged. As such, the complainant should be provided with copies of medical reports contained in Van Breda's file relating to this matter. Whether or not the [organisation] has these documents in their possession is irrelevant. As the policy holder, it has the right to give instructions that the complainant be given access to these documents and must ensure that she is provided with the information as soon as reasonably possible. [...] It is of no avail that some or all of the reports in question may have been given by the complainant's own doctors: she is entitled to know from Van Breda exactly what medical information about her it has received and from whom."

Considerations 7-8
Extract:
The Tribunal noted that since 1974 the health insurance contract has always been concluded for periods of one year and has even been amended several times. It does not agree that the complainant has an absolute claim to a specific system of health insurance, therefore, there has been no impairment of an acquired right.

Consideration 5
Extract:
"It is not for the complainant [...] to judge whether the information requested by [the insurance company] is necessary in order to enable it to assess her claims. That is a matter for the professional assessment of [the insurance company] and its medical adviser and the Tribunal would not interfere unless it was satisfied that the information was being sought for some abusive or improper purpose."
