abstract: The complete, updated laws governing doctors subject to the National Health Insurance System are to be found in volume V of the Social Legislation Statutes which went into effect on 1 January 1989. In this work there ist a description of the structure and the mission of the Association of National Health Insurance Doctors and of the Medical Board. Claims für services rendered by doctors are to be forwarded to the Association for collection from the insurance carriers. To monitor said services both financial and technical control procedures have been established by the Association. Medicines prescribed by the doctors are also subject to control by the carriers and/or a commission of the Association to ascertain whether a medicine prescribed is the most appropriate for the particular situation and whether such medicine is really required in said situation.
