Lodge a complaint about associations of statutory health insurance physicians and dentists that are independent of the federal state


With this complaint, you can have potential legal violations on the part of the associations of statutory health insurance physicians and dentists investigated by the competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority is legally authorized to request all necessary documents from the associations and to examine them for legal violations. If it discovers a violation of the law, the Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Dentists must rectify this. The supervisory authority will inform you of the result of the examination in a letter.

Which documents are required?

What else should I know?

The examination of the complaint does not constitute legal advice and does not replace an objection or a complaint.

The supervisory authority only acts in the public interest. The competent supervisory authority is therefore not obliged to take action following a complaint.

If there is a violation of the law, the competent supervisory authority will work to ensure that this is rectified by the association. However, the supervisory authority cannot make any decisions in place of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians or the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Dentists.

If the complainant wishes to change the law, he/she must contact the responsible federal ministry directly.

The supreme administrative authority responsible for social insurance in the federal state in which these associations are based is responsible for supervising the joint associations of panel doctors and panel dentists formed for the area of several federal states.
