title: [The binding quality of non-binding--the paradox of disease management guidelines].
abstract: The recommendations on "Medical Standard and Guidelines--Economisation of Medical Care" issued by the German Society of Medical Law (DGMR) critically focus on the binding effects of guidelines in the statutory health insurance system. But even after the Modernisation of the Statutory Health Insurance System Act (GMG) has been passed, concerns remain.
