Abstract:
The concept of ambulatory healthcare centre (MVZ) has been introduced by the German Health System Modernisation Act (GMG) which came into effect on January 01, 2004. For the first time, non-doctors also in the legal form of a corporation are entitled to become a contracted provider of ambulatory health services within the statutory health insurance system. A so-called ambulatory healthcare centre can be established by all the contractible care providers in the healthcare system. The MVZ can avail itself of whatever kind of legal form. It has to be headed by a physician and must be a multidisciplinary institution, which means it has to offer at least two special disciplines. Doctors working at an MVZ may be employed or statutory health insurance (SHI) physicians. Special fields with demand management require the availability of a vacant SHI physician position.
