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.
