In its decisions, the admissions committee has to take into account demand planning in particular.

• signed curriculum vitae
• current police certificate of good conduct (document type 0 for submission to an authority)
• Declaration on employment relationships existing at the time of application

You must submit the documents in the original or as certified copies.

• You are registered in the medical register as a doctor or psychotherapist.
• There is a vacant doctor's seat in the area where you would like to set up your practice, according to demand planning.
  In open planning areas, you can set up a new practice, take over an existing practice or join a group practice. In the blocked planning area, a colleague must first hand over a suitable seat, which you can take over in the back-filling procedure.

• Application for admission: EUR 100.00
• if the notice of admission has become final: EUR 400.00

You must apply for admission in writing. You can obtain application forms from the offices of the admissions committees.

The admissions committee decides on your application after an oral hearing. You will then be informed of the decision in writing.

Submit the application approximately twelve to no later than four weeks before the meeting date of the competent admission committee.

If you are planning to set up a practice in a restricted planning area, have yourself entered on the free waiting list of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians as early as possible.

 You can lodge an appeal against the decision of the admissions committee in writing or in writing with the office of the competent appeal committee.
