title: [Medical management--a new responsibility profile of the medical service of health insurance].
abstract: The Federal German Health Insurance Amendment Law provides for reorganisation of the medical advisory service by specially appointed doctors who had so far been engaged in giving their expert opinion to health insurance authorities on health insurance cases. These activities are now being extended by additional tasks, such as management functions. The article reviews the medicosociological and health economy aspects of the revised advisory activities.
