einen Präzedenzfall schaffen
I suppose the English should read: "... bad precedent."...?
"Die Versicherung lehnte die Erstattung der Behandlungskosten von XXX ab, weil dies einen aus ihrer Sicht ungünstigen Präzedenzfall geschaffen hätte."

This is what the New Oxford Dictionary says:
precedence = the condition of bein considered more important than someone or something else; priority in importance, order, or rank
precedent = an earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances

Präzedenzfall
I guess it is a writing mistake and should be "precedent", otherwise it does not make sense.
Die Versicherungsgesellschaft zahlte nicht für ....´s medizinische Auslage, wiel dies einen ungünstigen Präzedenzfall schaffen würde.
