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.
