high financial demands made by the medical health insurance scheme?

[to make] heavy/high demands on the health insurance
Explanation:
... would be my suggestion.

Beanspruchung der Krankenkasse = Inanspruchnahme der Krankenkasse

Due to the side effects of the drug the patient probably had to see a doctor more frequently, possibly needed some lab tests and some treatment.
Hence she might have relied on her health insurer more heavily.
